Found the only place in the world that cools rather than warms up

The researchers noted that overall, the Earth is warming rapidly, according to the vast majority of climate scientists.

this is due to greenhouse gas emissions.However, this does not affect all places equally - scientists note that there is a small area in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean that is getting colder every year.

New article in the journal Nature Climate Changeexplores the possible causes of the cooling of this point. The conclusion of the researchers is that this phenomenon is caused by several complex factors. The main ones are changes in ocean currents and thick clouds.

A cold piece of space can be seen onNASA temperature maps. In general, the surface of the ocean since 1900 has warmed up to almost 1 ° C, since the seas continuously absorb an enormous amount of heat created by man. However, the ocean surface temperature at this point has cooled by 0.9 ° C.

Contrary to the intuitive opinion of researchers,they are inclined to believe that the same greenhouse effect that causes the warming of most of the Earth is likely to cause complex phenomena that cause some parts of the planet to become colder.

“Anthropogenic climate change is changing the patternclimate system, ”says Christopher Karnauskas, an oceanographer at the University of Colorado-Boulder. “This territory is an interesting manifestation of the danger that we can incur on ourselves.”
