Federal meteorologists are predicting an unusual winter in the United States, with less snowfall and milder cold spells. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has issued its winter forecast, indicating that the northern areas of the country will see above-average temperatures, while the southern regions can expect more precipitation and stormy conditions.
Global warming, driven by human activities, is causing the accelerated melting of Greenland ice. The influx of freshwater from melting ice weakens or disrupts the normal sinking of salty water in the AMOC, potentially leading to its collapse, as per a study.
