This map, via Down to Earth shows the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). The AMOC is like a "heat conveyor belt". It moderates temperatures on the planet by moving warmer air to northern latitudes while returning cooler air to the tropics. It has already slowed down by about 15%, according to a 2021 study published in
