Deep in the Atlantic, a big flow of water moves heat from the tropics towards Greenland. This flow is called Amoc. Most people cannot see it. That is one reason it gets less attention than forests, ice, or storms. Scientists say it may be getting weaker. If it slows more, northern Europe could have much colder winters even while the world gets warmer. Tropical rainy seasons could shift. Sea level could also rise suddenly along the US east coast. It is hard to show this current in pictures, so news reports often use maps and arrows instead.
