Ein stetiges Ozeanmuster ist zum ersten Mal beobachtet

>Scientists have spotted something dramatically unusual in the ocean, and it could be a warning sign of things to come.

>Warm air dances with cold air; cold water chases warm water. It’s all a part of a predictable, stable dance of currents and climate patterns that naturally happen all across the Earth. Until it doesn’t.

>For the first time since records began 40 years ago, the cold, nutrient-rich waters of the Gulf of Panama failed to emerge this year. Scientists aren’t sure if it’s a fluke or a new normal.

>Specifically, the Gulf of Panama’s seasonal upwelling system has consistently delivered cool, nutrient-rich waters via northerly trade winds every January-April for at least 40 years. But not this year.

>“Time will tell if this is a real-life example of a climate tipping point – if the failure of upwelling continues in future years,“ said [Tim Lenton](https://experts.exeter.ac.uk/19727-tim-lenton), of the University of Exeter in the United Kingdom, a tipping point expert who was not involved in the new research.

>The findings were reported last week in the peer-reviewed journal [Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.](https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.2512056122)

Even if not a tipping point, this is one more sign that oceans are in trouble.

I’m going to miss eating seafood.

40 years? That’s an infinitesimal amount of time in geological and science terms.
I mean the little ice age lasted for 500 years and that was considered little.

Predictions of this were made years ago. An article addressing the AMOC: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2025/08/250830001201.htm
