Melting Antarctic ice is weakening the world’s strongest ocean current, the Antarctic Circumpolar Current, according to research published in the journal Environmental Research Letters on Monday.

The world’s strongest ocean current could slow as melting Antarctic ice sheets flood it with fresh water, according to research published yesterday that warned of “severe” climate consequences.

Melting Antarctic ice sheets are slowing the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC), the world's strongest ocean current, with a projected 20% reduction by 2050 under high carbon emissions.

Previously, ACC studies identified the current accelerating due to increased temperature disparities in different ocean latitudes due to climate change, which the new results dispute. “The melting ice ...
