An Australian-led study predicts a 20% slowdown in the Antarctic Circumpolar Current by 2050 due to high emissions, leading to accelerated ice sheet melting and sea level rise. The current plays a crucial role in the climate system by regulating heat and carbon dioxide uptake. The study, using Australia’s supercomputer Gadi, warns of significant impacts on global climate patterns and marine ecosystems.
