A conveyor belt of ocean water that loops the planet and regulates global temperatures could be heading for a tipping point.
local surface evaporation and low-pressure development. In contrast, the modeled large-scale precipitation (Fig.3c) indicates a more marked precipitation reduction; this implies that South Asian black carbon emissions appreciably hinder the long-distance transport of water vapor onto the Tibetan plateau...
Another excellent reef to visit in winter is the Ningaloo Reef, in the town of Exmouth in northern Western Australia. Like Northern Queensland, Exmouth sees sunny days and pleasantly warm water temperatures. Humpback whales also visit this side of the country due to the pleasant deep waters, wit...

very dense salty water forms, causing it to sink and be replaced by warmer water from the South. This kickstarts the thermohaline circulation, leading to relatively warm conditions in the United Kingdom relative to the same latitude on the American east coast. Occasionally, however, deglaciation ...
