Global Warming Can Trigger Extreme Ocean, Climate Changes, Scripps-led Study Reveals

Scientists use deep ocean historical records to find an abrupt ocean circulation reversal caused by greenhouse gas warming. New research produced by scientists at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California, San Diego, helps illustrate how global warming caused by greenhouse gases can quickly disrupt ocean processes and lead to drastic climatological, biological and other important changes around the world. Although the events described in the research unfolded millions of years ago and spanned thousands of years, the researchers say the findings provide clues to help better understand the long-term impacts of today's human-influenced climate warming...
