Climate patterns in the Indian and Pacific oceans, which were linked for centuries, are now showing a dramatic breakdown in their relationship. This shift is being observed in the Indian Ocean, as researchers noted. Since the 1980s, the long-standing connection has weakened sharply due to human-caused warming and emissions. The study used coral and tree ring records dating back to the early 1600s to analyze this change. This suggests the Indian Ocean can now behave more independently from the Pacific Ocean. 🌊
