More than 40 climate scientists have called on Nordic ministers to take urgent action to prevent major changes in the Atlantic Ocean current that could result from global warming. Scientists warn that such changes could lead to sharp fluctuations in weather conditions and damage numerous ecosystems.

In particular, experts are concerned about the possible collapse of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, a system of ocean currents that transports warm water to the North Atlantic and ensures a temperate climate in Europe. They believe that such changes could seriously threaten the living conditions of people not only in the Arctic region but also beyond.

Climate scientists are calling on governments in the region to take active steps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and support programs that will help preserve ecosystems dependent on the stability of ocean currents. They emphasize that timely decisions can be critical to preserving the climate balance in the North Atlantic and preventing catastrophic consequences for people and nature.
