Recent studies have raised alarms about the potential slowdown of Earth's strongest ocean current, the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC), due to climate change. The ACC, which flows eastward around Antarctica, plays a pivotal role in regulating global climate by distributing heat and nutrients across the world's oceans. Researchers predict that if high greenhouse gas emissions persist, the ACC could slow by 20% by 2050, leading to profound environmental consequences.
