Swedish research shows storms can help slow down global warming
- New research at Gothenburg University shows that storms over the Antarctic Ocean can actually help slow down global warming.
- The study, published in the scientific magazine Nature Geoscience, found that these storms help the sea cool down, which in turn lowers the temperature in the air above it.
- “Storms that happen directly over the ocean, can actually have a positive effect on humanity,” says Marcel du Plessis, researcher in oceanography at Gothenburg University.
