What do we need to know here?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Abraham:<\/strong> There\u2019s what\u2019s called a conveyor belt in the ocean, and this is water that travels up the East Coast of the United States and then goes toward Greenland, Iceland and Northern Europe. The water gets cold, sinks to the bottom of the ocean and then it travels backward.<\/p>\n<p>It sort of goes in a like a loop \u2013 or a conveyor belt. That passageway of water is really, really important because it brings heat up to Europe, and it\u2019s the reason why England\u2019s temperatures are much more mild.<\/p>\n<p>These scientists discovered that this conveyor belt of water is slowing down, and it will likely stop in the future. It\u2019s going to have really crazy consequences for our climate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"John Abraham, professor of mechanical engineering, spoke to the Minnesota Public Radio about shifting ocean currents.
