Two new studies published in Nature that show a slowing down of Atlantic circulation have inspired doomsday scenarios in recent headlines. But Annalisa Bracco, of the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, assures us that it's not as drastic as we might think. She points out that other researchers' work don't show any significant decline at all. So, is the collapse of the Gulf Stream imminent? "No," Bracco says.
