New research suggests ocean circulation in the North Atlantic is now the weakest it is has been in around 1,500 years which could have profound implications on the future climates of North America and Europe. Experts from the Department of Earth Sciences and the Swire Institute of Marine Science at the University of Hong Kong issued their dramatic warning after studying the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) which takes warm surface water toward the Arctic and cold deep water toward the equator.

The researchers, co-led by Dr Christelle Not and Dr Benoit Thibodeau, said current ocean conditions were similar to those which preceded an extended cold spell between 1600 and 1850 which became known as the Little Ice Age.
Winters were bitterly cold and summers were often cool and wet, leading to widespread crop failure, famine and population decline.
There were increased levels of social unrest as large portions of the population were reduced to starvation and poverty.
