The fate of the Gulf Stream will be decided by a"tug-of-war" between two types of melting from the Greenland Ice Sheet, a new study suggests.
The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation , which includes the Gulf Stream, governs the climate by bringing nutrients, oxygen and heat in tropical waters north and cold water south.

But there are key differences between then and now. During the last ice age, the slowdown of the AMOC had started before icebergs started calving. And, despite having more variability than previously thought, the AMOC is currently in a"pretty healthy state" without significant slowdown, Zhou said.
