Winter Jiwu

The North Atlantic is the key 'pump' on the global ocean conveyor belt. Warm surface water flows northward, releasing heat, becoming colder, saltier, and sinking, driving deep cold water backflow. This circulation is responsible for transporting the equivalent of heat released by one million nuclear power plants in winter to high latitudes in the northern hemisphere, maintaining the Earth's climate balance. While scholars and businessmen were still debating whether to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, that day, the pump suddenly shut down!
