Because of carbon dioxide emissions from the burning of fossil fuels, some scientists are

flooding coastal locations worldwide. It could shut down the Atlantic Gulf Stream and oceanic
thermohaline circulation, triggering the rapid onset of a new Ice Age. Global weather circulation
changes could cause more severe floods and droug
