Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>Researchers have warned that another \u201crapid and long-lasting regional climate change\u201d may occur in the North Atlantic region if processes such as the loss of Arctic sea ice and the melting of Greenland\u2019s ice sheet continue unabated.<\/p>\n

Researchers from the University of Exeter managed to gain new insight into the environmental changes that occurred on Earth during the period of regional cooling known as the Little Ice Age (LIA) that started around the 13th century and ended in mid-19th century, being most pronounced in the North Atlantic.<\/p>\n

The authors of the new study, which was published in the journal Nature Communications last month, studied shells of hard clams \u2013 marine bivalve mollusks that can potentially live for centuries \u2013 in order to try to assess how the ocean \u201cevolved and responded to external changes over recent centuries,\u201d as Science Daily put it.<\/p>\n

During the course of their research, the team determined that the \u201csubpolar North Atlantic system experienced a two-phase destabilization\u201d during the transition from the warm Medieval Climate Anomaly to the Little Ice Age.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe vulnerability of the North Atlantic system to externally forced perturbations is a critical issue today, with recent analysis suggesting that this system has destabilized during the last century and might be approaching a tipping point,\u201d the researchers wrote.<\/p>\n

They also warned that, \u201cif rapid loss of Arctic sea-ice, accelerating melting of the Greenland ice sheet, and associated export of freshwater into key convective regions in the North Atlantic continues, a subpolar gyre tipping point might again lead to rapid and long-lasting regional climate change.\u201d<\/p>\n

“Our latest analysis suggests that the system of ocean currents in the northern North Atlantic could be at risk of a tipping point again now due to global warming, leading once again to abrupt climate change over Europe,” said Professor Tim Lenton, director of the University of Exeter\u2019s Global Systems Institute and one of the authors of the study.<\/p>\n
