Melting sea ice allows oceans to warm more rapidly, which melts more sea ice. Once triggered, they can be difficult or even impossible to reverse on timescales meaningful to humans.

The study, titled Strengthening of the equatorial Pacific upper-ocean circulation over the past three decades was published in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, on October 31, 2024.

This suggests that climate change has resulted in shifting patterns in ocean circulation. Coral reefs may soon be a thing of the past.
