A system of ocean currents that carries heat northward across the North Atlantic could collapse during this century, according to a new study, and scientists have said before such a collapse could cause catastrophic sea-level rise and extreme weather across the globe.

Greenhouse gas emissions from the way humans consume food could add nearly one degree of warming to the Earth’s climate by 2100, according to a new study Monday, March 6, 2023.
