Grim Reaper 6 Posted July 18 #1 Share Posted July 18 Researchers at UCL have found that the Gulf Stream was stronger during the last ice age, about 20,000 years ago, due to stronger winds across the subtropical North Atlantic. Their study, recently published in Nature, indicates that a future reduction in these winds due to climate change could weaken the Gulf Stream. Such a change would decrease the flow of tropical heat to Europe, potentially cooling the continent and raising sea levels in North America.. https://scitechdaily.com/could-climate-change-silence-the-powerful-gulf-stream/.
