Those that go over marine heat waves are 60% more likely to cause at least $1 billion in damage. Hurricanes Helene, Milton and Otis are good examples.

The current, known as the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, has drawn increasing scrutiny as climate change warms the planet because it plays such a sweeping role.

But current ocean temperatures are even higher than expected.

The Oceans /news/2021-03-18/one-of-bidens-biggest-climate-change-challenges-the-oceans Climate change is hitting the oceans hard, both warming and acidifying the water. Ocean scientists are hoping the Biden Administration dives in quickly to address it.
