Which risk increases where the North Atlantic Deep Water formation slows?

💡 Explanation

Slowing North Atlantic Deep Water reduces the ocean's vertical Heat Transport Circulation, because less dense, fresh water stays at the surface capping colder, saltier water. Therefore, less cold, CO2-rich water sinks to the deep ocean, rather than enhancing global carbon sequestration.
