Which risk increases when glacial melt accelerates Arctic halocline weakening?

💡 Explanation

A weakened halocline reduces density stratification; this disrupts Thermohaline Circulation, leading to less North Atlantic overturning. Therefore, carbon sequestration decreases rather than increases, because less surface water subducts, lowering CO2 absorption.
