Scientists warn the 'cold blob' could disrupt global weather patterns
Original: cold blob
Attention is turning to the so-called 'cold blob', an area of unusually cold water in the North Atlantic that scientists fear could weaken the ocean circulation system that regulates the climate. Reports warn that if this system collapses, weather patterns across Europe, North America and beyond could shift dramatically, with colder winters and disrupted rainfall among the possible consequences.
Why now: New warnings that the North Atlantic 'cold blob' could destabilise major ocean circulation have renewed public concern about climate tipping points.
