| Abstract | A large portion of human-induced carbon dioxide emissions, and the heat that they trap within Earth’s climate system, are being absorbed by the global ocean. The long-term impacts of this absorption on climate and ocean circulation are poorly understood. Forecasts of 21st-century climate change suggest that global warming will lead to a more stratified ocean and weaker global ocean circulation, which would have major ramifications for regional and global climate. However, recent studies suggest |
