Scientists have discovered a cold blob in the North Atlantic that has cooled significantly since 1900, potentially linked to weakening ocean currents. This phenomenon could indicate a major climate tipping point with severe global consequences.

• A mysterious cold patch in the North Atlantic has cooled by nearly 1 degree Celsius since 1900
• Scientists link the cooling to weakening ocean currents known as the AMOC
• A collapse of AMOC could lead to severe global consequences including rising sea levels and disrupted weather patterns
