How a 50 mile dam between Russia and Alaska could help regulate Earth’s climate

What Happened

Dutch scientists published research in Science Advances proposing a 50-mile dam across the Bering Strait between Russia and Alaska to prevent collapse of the AMOC ocean current system, which regulates Earth's climate. The study serves as proof-of-concept, not implementation plan. Researchers emphasize reducing carbon emissions remains primary solution, though such drastic measures could become necessary in worst-case scenarios.
