Earth Is Warming Everywhere Except One Place

Almost every major region of the world’s oceans has warmed over the past century. One large patch south of Greenland has done the opposite. Scientists call it the “cold blob,” and one leading explanation is that the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation,the enormous ocean system that transports heat toward Europe — is weakening. New research published in 2026 has intensified the debate. One analysis projects the AMOC could weaken by roughly 51% by 2100, while another suggests the speed of global warming may matter as much as the final temperature itself. But a complete collapse this century is far from certain, and other studies find mechanisms that could keep the circulation running. In this documentary, we examine what the observations actually show, why the AMOC matters so much for Europe, what a major weakening would change, and why scientists still disagree about whether the system can completely shut down. -- DISCUSSIONS & SOCIAL MEDIA Commercial Purposes: insanecuriosityb
