The upcoming winter promises to be the coldest in the entire hundred-year history of meteorological observations. Such a disappointing forecast was given unanimously by American and European weather forecasters. Paradoxically, this prediction is based on a general ... warming of the planetary climate.

An increase in temperature on the planet leads to a change in the wind rose. Northern and Central Europe and, to a much greater extent, Russia are not protected by natural barriers (ie mountains or warm seas) from the polar air. True, until recently, the western part of the continent had its own "stove" - ​​a warm current in the ocean, the Gulf Stream. However, over the past 20 years, from the point of view of some ocean hydrologists, the Gulf Stream has been deviating more and more south towards the Sahara. In addition, the flow rate slows down.

The relevant research was published back in 2015 by the journal Nature, according to the findings of scientists at the Potsdam Institute for Research on Climate Change and its Effects, led by professor of ocean physics Stefan Ramstorf. In 2010, a significant slowdown of the current allegedly occurred (confirmation is contained in the works of the Italian physicist Gian-Luigi Tsangari), which caused a terrible stir in European scientific circles. Note that Russian scientists do not support the conclusion of their Italian colleague, but they also note strong oceanic anomalies in the northern part of the Atlantic.

How the Gulf Stream distributes heat:

The fact is that without the Gulf Stream, real Siberian cold can reign in the European Union. Meanwhile, it is warming that is causing the melting of the Greenland glaciers and the ice cap of the North Pole. By the way, Antarctica also shows instability of the ice cover. All new cracks cut through many kilometers of ice on the southernmost continent of the Earth. Cubic kilometers of fresh cold water entering the ocean change the density of ocean masses, the circulation of thermohaline (temperature-salty) water, lead to a change in currents, and, accordingly, the climate on the continents.

As a result, the Gulf Stream moves more and more to the south, and the influx of cold air from the poles intensifies into Russia and Europe. This has not happened to the Gulf Stream since about 900, that is, about 1100 years!

It is in this regard that scientists predict the return of at least the "Little Ice Age" on the European continent, which was last observed for several decades. In those years, the period of atmospheric cooling - presumably due to the slowdown of the Gulf Stream - coincided with a decrease in solar activity. Western Europeans were faced with a natural phenomenon now known to science as the "Maunder Minimum". In particular, we are talking about a long-term decrease in the number of sunspots observed from 1645 to 1715.

This is what sun spots look like:

Even if the disappointing forecast is confirmed, for our country it could mean several weeks of frosts over 20 degrees with peak readings down to minus 30 and below. A natural phenomenon can be intensified by a strong cold wind, and for each meter per second one must count an additional degree of frost in subjective perception.

In principle, Russia was initially prepared for such cold weather: the population has the necessary warm clothes, and houses are designed for lower temperatures. Also, the laying of energy highways is carried out in accordance with the so-called SNiP norms (building codes and rules). According to these regulations, deep networks (water supply, sewerage, drainage) are laid at a depth exceeding 1.5 meters. The rolling stock of trains and equipment in general are able to function even at lower temperatures, since operating standards are the same throughout the country. Recall that in the same Siberia, the thermometer normally drops to a low mark every winter.

Certain difficulties may arise for drivers - including personal vehicles - with a diesel engine, that is, running on diesel fuel. Despite any additives, after the thermometer drops to minus 25 degrees, diesel fuel thickens, and then completely turns into jelly. It is also extremely important to check the condition of car batteries that are rapidly discharged in the cold.

In turn, Western European neighbors may face a number of difficulties, since communications in Europe are actually laid on the surface, that is, above the freezing point. With a stable (and not peak for several hours) temperature drop below 10 degrees below zero, water supply may stop. No less problem can be expected by the population, which traditionally does not have a serious winter wardrobe.

Europeans are not used to cold weather (frame from winter Paris):

Finally, public transport in Western Europe is not ready for the cold, as it does not have the appropriate winter fuel or fuels and lubricants. The situation is no better with snowplows and reagents. So, for example, at Charles de Gaulle Airport (Paris), there is virtually no snow removal equipment.

Similar disasters have already happened in Europe several years ago, on the night of November 20-21, 2014, when, in particular, the Eurostar London-Paris-Brussels high-speed train was cut off in the snows of northern France. He stood in the open space, not far from Lille, most of the night, and the cars were not supplied with heat and water, and there was nowhere for the 1300 passengers to go.

The journal Nature has published the results of a study by scientists from the Potsdam Institute for Research on Climate Change and its Effects, led by professor of ocean physics Stefan Ramstorf. The main conclusion of this study is that the circulation of water in the oceans is slowing down and that one of the consequences of this may be a slowing down of the Gulf Stream. This in turn will lead to many disasters. Cold winters in Europe and a severe rise in water levels that will threaten major coastal cities on the US East Coast, such as New York and Boston. According to their data, the Gulf Stream, which brings a mild climate to northern Europe and favorable conditions for residents of the southeastern United States, is slowing down at the fastest rate in the last 1,000 years.

Professor Stefan Ramstorff: “It is immediately apparent that one particular area in the North Atlantic has been cooling for the last hundred years, while the rest of the world has been warming. We have now found compelling evidence that the global pipeline has indeed been weakening over the last hundred years, especially since 1970.”

The data obtained by scientists confirms that as global temperatures rise due to climate change, areas that are warmed by the Gulf Stream show a drop in temperature, especially in winter. An influx of warm water from the equator that travels across the Gulf of Mexico, across the ocean and then up the west side of Britain and Norway contributes to the warm climate in Northern Europe. This makes winter conditions in much of northern Europe much milder than they would normally be, protecting these regions from large amounts of snow and ice during the winter months.

Now, researchers have found that the water in the North Atlantic Ocean is colder than previously predicted by computer models. According to their calculations, between 1900 and 1970, 8,000 cubic kilometers of fresh water entered the Atlantic Ocean from Greenland. In addition, the same source "provided" an additional 13,000 cubic kilometers between 1970 and 2000. This fresh water is less dense than the salty ocean and tends to float on the surface, upsetting the balance of the huge current.

In the 1990s, circulation began to recover, but the recovery was temporary. Now there is a new weakening, possibly due to the rapid melting of the Greenland ice sheet.

At the moment, the circulation is weaker by 15-20% than one or two decades ago. At first glance, this is not so much. But on the other hand, scientists say, there has not been anything like this on Earth for at least 1100 years, since about 900. It is also worrying that the weakening of the circulation is happening faster than the pace predicted by scientists.

Researchers believe that the onset of the Little Ice Age around 1300 was due precisely to the slowing down of the Gulf Stream. In the 1310s, Western Europe, judging by the chronicles, experienced a real ecological catastrophe. The traditionally warm summer of 1311 was followed by four gloomy and rainy summers of 1312-1315. Heavy rains and unusually harsh winters have killed several crops and frozen orchards in England, Scotland, northern France and Germany. Viticulture and wine production ceased in Scotland and northern Germany. Winter frosts began to hit even northern Italy. F. Petrarch and J. Boccaccio recorded that in the XIV century. snow often fell in Italy.

In 2009-10, American scientists have already recorded a sudden rise in the water level in the Atlantic off the east coast of America by 10 cm. Then the current weakening of the circulation was just beginning. In case of its sharp weakening, the water level can rise by 1 meter. Moreover, we are talking only about the increase due to the weakening of circulation. To this meter should be added the rise of water, which is expected from global warming.

Scientists have calculated that the warm Gulf Stream is so powerful that it carries more water than all the rivers of the planet combined. Despite all its power, it is only one, albeit a major component of the global thermohaline process, i.e. temperature-salty, water circulation. Its key components are in the North Atlantic, where the Gulf Stream flows. Therefore, it plays such an important role in shaping the climate on the planet.

The Gulf Stream carries warm water north into colder waters. At the Great Newfoundland Bank, it passes into the North Atlantic Current, which affects the weather in Europe. This current moves further north until the cold, salty waters go deeper due to their increased density. Then it moves at great depths in the opposite direction, to the south. The Gulf Stream and the North Atlantic Current play a decisive role in shaping the climate, because they carry warm water to the north, and cold water to the south, to the tropics, i.e. constantly stirs water between ocean basins.

If too much ice melts in the north Atlantic, say in Greenland, the cold salt water is desalinated. Reducing the salt content of water reduces its density and it rises to the surface.

This process can slow down and eventually even stop the thermohaline circulation. What can happen in this case, director Roland Emmerich tried to show in the science fiction film The Day After Tomorrow (2004). In his version, a new ice age has begun on Earth, which provoked catastrophes and led to chaos on a planetary scale.

Scientists reassure: if this happens, it will not be very soon. However, global warming is indeed slowing down the circulation. One of the consequences, Stefan Ramstorff notes, could be a rise in the Atlantic Ocean off the east coast of the United States and much colder winters in Europe.

Scientists have confirmed that the famous Gulf Stream has finally changed its direction. Now it does not reach Svalbard, but turns towards Greenland, which contributes to warmer weather on the American continent, but “freezes” northern Siberia.

The stoppage of the Gulf Stream was first reported by Dr. Gianluigi Zangari, a theoretical physicist at the Frascati Institute in Italy, in a journal article on June 12, 2010. The article is based on satellite data from the Colorado Aerodynamic Research Center, coordinated with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration of the US Navy . The author pointed to the stoppage of the rotation of water flows in the Gulf of Mexico and the division of the Gulf Stream into parts. Subsequently, the images were changed on the server of the Colorado Center for Aerodynamic Research, and now it is difficult to say by whom and when.

How was the flow
The colder and denser Labrador current “dipped” under the warm and lighter current of the Gulf Stream, without preventing it from heating Europe, reaching Murmansk. Then the Labrador Current “surfaced” off the coast of Spain under the name of the cold Canary Current, crossed the Atlantic, reached the Caribbean Sea, warmed up and, passing through a loop in the Gulf of Mexico, already under the name Gulf Stream rushed unhindered back to the North.

The Gulf Stream was part of the thermohaline circulation system, a key element in the planet's thermal regulation. It separated England and Ireland from becoming a glacier. Smoothed out the climate in the Scandinavian countries.

After Dr. Zangari's report, the Canadian Parliament created a commission to find out the real state of affairs with the Gulf Stream near the coast of the state. It was headed by well-known US oceanologist Ronald Rabbit, a technologist for processing the biomass of the oceans and improving the environment. A special dye that does not harm the flora and fauna of the ocean was poured into containers exploding at a certain depth and, thus, tracked the flow of movement of water masses. The Gulf Stream as an existing current was not discovered.

But, as it turned out, the self-regulating system called the Earth “worked” this time as well. According to research, the current “creeped” 800 miles (1481 kilometers) east of the former Gulf Stream zone. According to satellite images, the temperature of this current has increased relative to the Gulf Stream. This means that the evaporation rate has increased in the warm zone above the ocean.

A small digression: the majority of people believe that moist air is heavier than dry air, but this is not so. Molecules of oxygen O2, carbon dioxide CO2 and nitrogen N2 are heavier than water molecules H2O.

What brings us such a change
Presumably very cold to -45 degrees and little snowy winter in the European part of Russia, Western Europe will be covered with snow, and hurricane winds will rage on the border of the fronts. In mid-February 2011, instead of frost, spring came in Canada with a temperature of +10. America, apparently, will not be left without a "carrot" either. Recent cold weather in Montana, South Dakota, Texas, Arkansas and Tennessee is proof of this.

Major world ocean currents. The Gulf Stream originates in the Gulf of Mexico, heads towards Europe (dark color of the "river"), turns towards Greenland, cools (gray, light color of the "river"), sinking to the depth, and flows south. According to new data, the course of the Gulf Stream (surface warm flow) has recently deviated towards Greenland by 800 km.

Some may have been dismayed by the headlines that appeared in the press last week that the Gulf Stream could be "playing the box" in about 300 years.

However, Tore Furevik is not alarmed at all. Rather, the director of the Bjerknes Center for Climate Research, professor of oceanography, feels he is being provoked.

“I don’t think the circulation of water in the ocean will stop, although it may become weaker,” Fuurevik says. He believes that the authors of the new report are using too frightening terms, although there is no need for this.

“They say that the circulation of water in the Atlantic Ocean may stop, but the process they describe occurs gradually over many hundreds of years. And it won't stop one day."

“Whether one likes it or not, research has become more tabloid.”

NB! Please note that the concept of "Gulf Stream" does not originally mean an ocean current right off the coast of Norway. Check out the facts!

The many names of the Gulf Stream create confusion

When it comes to the Gulf Stream, you should be especially careful. In fact, we are talking about three different systems, and only one of them is a real Gulf Stream.

AMOS (Atlantic Ocean Circulation): The grandiose system of currents in the Atlantic Ocean that carries water from the equator to the poles and cold water back to the equator.

Gulf Stream: can be seen as an offshoot of the AMOS carrying warm water northward. It divides in two, most of the water flows to the east or northeast, to what is called the North Atlantic Current.

Norwegian Atlantic Current: A branch of the North Atlantic Current that continues into the Norwegian Sea and continues north along the coast of Norway. The name Gulf Stream is often misused in relation to the Norwegian Atlantic Current. It is sometimes also referred to as the "Norwegian Gulf Stream".

Source: "That's why scientists argue about the Gulf Stream" (Derfor kranglar forskarane om Golfstraumen)

"This is a dubious practice"

Furevik criticizes not only the tabloid presentation of the results of the study, but also the study itself.

The new report builds on what many say is a weak point in today's climate models: they overstate the stability of ocean currents.

By varying the amount of salt in the calculations, the scientists found that the future of ocean currents looked bleaker than other calculations predicted.

Furevik is skeptical about this. Calculations, i.e. model is still quite imperfect.

“This is a dubious practice. They are trying to fix the error artificially.”

"Scientists exaggerate results"

Fuurevik is also skeptical about the way the results are presented. The press materials say nothing about the approximate nature of the studies, the choice of such expression as "play the box" or "collapse" makes the case in a more dramatic light than it actually is.

“Scientists often exaggerate results to attract press interest,” he says. In his opinion, this is especially true for publications in the large journals Nature and Science.

The Bjerknes Center has been studying ocean currents for many years, but cannot refer to discoveries as sensational as those discussed in the above-mentioned report.

“Those who say ocean currents don't change don't get big headlines in the papers,” Fuurevik says.

“Everything in society is built on this now. You definitely need to offer something new, and not just confirm that everything is exactly as you expected.

He doesn't agree

He refers to an interview in Business Insider where he talks about the weaknesses of the study and the need for others to continue it.

The main thought of scientists was that everyone agrees that the models exaggerate the stability of the grandiose system of currents in the Atlantic Ocean, in the language of professionals called AMOS. And they tried to give their answer to this question.

“Models always need to be improved. The question is: what should we do, given the state of the models today? Can we extract some useful information? We believe that adjusting the salt content is a way to move forward,” says Wei.

What do scientists know about ocean currents?

Thure Fürevik briefly summarizes what researchers know about the current system in the Atlantic Ocean today:

Ocean currents are resilient: Greenland ice sheet data and simplified climate models have suggested that ocean currents in the Atlantic can wax and wane over a short period of time, and that if the Gulf Stream stops, it could be due to global warming. Today it is believed that the currents in the Atlantic Ocean are more stable. It has been 11,000 years since the last time the northern branch of the Gulf Stream, what we call the Norwegian Atlantic Current, seems to have come to a halt. Today, scientists believe that this did not stop then either, but that the current became a little weaker, it went deeper when it met fresher water at the surface and continued at depth.

North 'motor' may get weaker: A warmer climate may be weakening the north's ocean current 'motor' due to warmer water, increased rainfall, and melting ice in Greenland. In a hundred years, the current may become 10-20% weaker.

The Importance of Winds: Winds are another important "motor" of ocean currents, even if the ice melts, the winds will not become weaker.

Norway warms air: Most of the heat comes to Northern Europe by air, not by sea. In other words, ocean currents are not the most important thing for the climate in the north.

We have already gotten used to warm winters and hot summers, and therefore the snowy spring and the cold summer of 2017 in Russia contrast very much against this background. Scientists at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research warn that winters in Europe could get colder. Violation of the circulation of water in the oceans and the slowdown of the Gulf Stream can lead to difficult to calculate, but unambiguously negative consequences for the entire planet.

The Gulf Stream slowed down

The main conclusion of this study is that the circulation of water in the oceans is slowing down and that one of the consequences of this may be a slowing down of the Gulf Stream. This in turn will lead to many disasters. Cold winters in Europe and a severe rise in water levels that will threaten major coastal cities on the US East Coast, such as New York and Boston.

Scientists reassure: if this happens, it will not be very soon. However, global warming is indeed slowing down the circulation. One of the consequences, Stefan Ramstorff notes, could be a rise in the Atlantic Ocean off the east coast of the United States and much colder winters in Europe.

On April 20, 2010, 80 kilometers off the coast of Louisiana, in the Gulf of Mexico, an explosion occurred on the Deepwater Horizon oil platform, owned by British Petroleum (BP), which was developing the Macondo field. The oil spill that followed the accident (explosion and fire) became the largest in the history of the United States, turning the accident into one of the largest man-made disasters in terms of negative impact on the ecological situation and the environment.

Italian physicists conducted an experiment in which they used a bath of cold water and gave color to warm water jets. It was possible to see the boundaries of cold layers and warm jets. When oil was added to the bath, the boundaries of the layers of warm water were violated and the current vortex was effectively destroyed. This is exactly what happened in the Gulf of Mexico and in the Atlantic Ocean with the Gulf Stream. The river of "warm water" that flows from the Caribbean, reaches Western Europe less and less, is dying because of Corexit (COREXIT-9500) - a toxic chemical that the Obama administration allowed BP to use to hide the scale of the disaster resulting from the explosion of the drilling platform in April last year. As a result, according to some reports, about 42 million gallons of this dispersant were poured into the Gulf of Mexico.

Corexit, as well as several million gallons of other dispersants, were added to more than 200 million gallons of crude oil that had been pouring over several months from a well drilled by BP at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico. So it was possible to effectively hide most of the oil, sinking it to the bottom, and hope that the BP concern will be able to seriously reduce the size of the federal fine, depending on the size of the oil disaster. Currently, there are no ways to effectively "cleanse" the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico. In addition, oil reached the east coast of America and then flowed into the northern part of the Atlantic Ocean. There, too, there is no way to effectively clean up the oil at the bottom.

The first to report the shutdown of the Gulf Stream was Dr. Gianluigi Zangari, a theoretical physicist at the Frascati Institute in Italy (Rome). He said that due to the disaster in the Gulf of Mexico, glaciation "is inevitable in the near future." The scientist had previously collaborated with a group of specialists involved in monitoring what was happening in the Gulf of Mexico for several years. His information is contained in a journal article dated June 12, 2010 and is based on satellite data from CCAR Colorado, agreed with the US Navy's NOAA. This live satellite map data was later altered on the CCAR server and the scientist claims it was a "falsification".

Dr. Zangari argues that a huge amount of oil covers such vast areas that it has a serious impact on the entire thermoregulation system of the planet by destroying the boundary layers of the warm water flow. As a result, in the fall of 2010, the pipeline in the Gulf of Mexico ceased to exist, and satellite data from that period clearly showed that the Gulf Stream began to break apart and die about 250 kilometers east of the coast of North Carolina, despite the width of the Atlantic Ocean at this latitude exceeding 5000 kilometers.

In connection with the interest aroused by the topic of the "disappearance" of the Gulf Stream on the Internet, the Russian scientist Professor Sergey Leonidovich Lopatnikov, the author of two monographs and 130 publications in the field of physics, acoustics, geophysics, mathematics, physical chemistry, and economics, wrote the following on his blog:

About the Gulf Stream and Winter Weather The thermohaline vascular system, where warm waters flow over cooler waters, has a great impact not only on the ocean, but also on the upper atmosphere up to seven miles high. The absence of the Gulf Stream in the eastern part of the North Atlantic disrupted the normal course of atmospheric flows in the summer of 2010, resulting in unheard of high temperatures in Moscow, droughts and floods in Central Europe, temperatures rose in many Asian countries, and massive floods occurred in China, Pakistan and others. Asian countries.

So what does all this mean? This means that in the future there will be violent mixing of the seasons, frequent crop failures, an increase in the size of droughts and floods in various parts of the Earth. In fact, the creation by BP of an “oil volcano” at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico killed the “pacemaker” of the global climate on the planet. Here is what Dr. Zangari says about it:

I know well the history of our atmosphere, climate, and even what they were like when there was no man yet. For example, hundreds of millions of years ago, the temperature was 12-14 degrees higher than today. Of course, there is something to reproach a person with... Over the past fifty years, industry has worked very intensively, emitting a huge amount of greenhouse gases, which, of course, affected the climate. That is, there is definitely an anthropogenic contribution. But climate is a very subtle phenomenon. In addition to high temperatures, there were also glaciations on Earth. And they occur at concentrations of greenhouse gases below two hundred parts per million. Then the so-called "white earth" appears. So, now we are closer to this “white earth” than to the hottest anomalies that have been in the history of our planet.

Everything that has happened will lead to corresponding consequences for human civilization, to ecological collapse, global famine, deaths and mass migration of the population from areas unsuitable for human habitation. A new ice age can start at any time, and it will start with a glaciation in North America, Europe and Asia, perhaps. A new ice age could kill 2/3 of the human race in the first year if it starts quickly. If everything happens slowly, then most likely, about the same amount of the population will die, but just within a few years!

What do we have at the entrance? During the Gulf Stream, warmer water enters. A fraction of a degree, but it matters. What do we have as a result? Western winds prevailing in the middle of the Atlantic bring warmer and more humid air to southern Europe than before. The so-called "hot glass" over the flat territory of the Russian Federation in the summer he could not break through and dumped moisture in the upper reaches of European rivers (in the mountains).

More importantly, these are lenses made of heavier oil fractions “submerged” with the help of chemical binders hundreds of meters deep. These inclusions prevent convection heat transfer between the bottom and surface layers of water. At the same time, they were "drowned and okay." But because of this, there was a change in the viscosity of water saturated with oil emulsion to great depths due to the treatment of the oil release with the binder Corexit.

As Dr. Zangari notes, "The real concern is that there is no precedent in history for the sudden complete replacement of a natural system with a broken, man-made system." Worst of all, real-time satellite data is clear evidence to Zangari that a new man-made natural system has emerged in the Gulf of Mexico. Within this new and unnatural system, such parameters as viscosity, temperature and salinity of sea water have changed radically. This stopped the run of the Annular Current in the Gulf of Mexico that had lasted for millions of years.

The opinion expressed by Dr. Zangari with mathematical precision and illustrated by the dynamics of satellite imagery is better to read several times:

Measurements of the temperature of the Gulf Stream in 2010 between the 76th and 47th meridians show that it is 10 degrees Celsius colder than it was during the same period last year. Accordingly, we can talk about the presence of a direct causal relationship between the stop of the warm Annular Current in the Gulf of Mexico and the fall in the temperature of the Gulf Stream.

Assumption of Consequences

Meteorologists warn: the planet Earth has entered the so-called small ice age, which may be followed by a big one - this is when even dinosaurs began to die out on Earth. The first alarm bell rang in 2013, when the never-freezing Black Sea was covered with ice. Well, after the beautiful blue Danube and even the Venetian canals froze in Europe, a real panic began in general. What is the reason for such anomalies and how it can turn out for our planet?

Due to the fact that the warm Atlantic Gulf Stream is changing its direction, around 2025, a sharp cooling will most likely begin on Earth. In a matter of days, the Arctic Ocean will freeze and turn into a second Antarctica. After that, a thick layer of ice will cover: the North, Norwegian and even the Baltic Seas. The navigable English Channel and even the never-freezing European rivers Thames and Seine will freeze. Forty-degree frosts will begin in European countries. Cold winds will bring heavy snowfalls from the North Atlantic - as a result, all European airports will stop their work, power supply to many cities will stop. In just a few weeks, all of Europe will plunge into pitch darkness, and then turn into an icy desert. All this, according to scientists' forecasts, is a very real scenario of what could happen in just 10 years. The earth will be on the brink of disaster.

Scientists around the world are sounding the alarm - in two years the Gulf Stream deviated from its previous direction by 800 kilometers and now, instead of moving to the northeast (to heat Europe), the warm current turns to the northwest - towards Canada.

If this deviation turns out to be permanent and the Gulf Stream never again goes to the North Atlantic, a global catastrophe will happen on Earth. The Gulf Stream will melt the ice of Greenland; a huge mass of water will pour onto the mainland and will actually wash away all of North America from the face of the Earth, but this is not the worst thing. All this will set the earth's plates in motion, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, tsunamis will begin on the planet. According to scientists, if this happens, two-thirds of the population will die out almost instantly. In the Eastern Hemisphere: in Europe, Asia and even Africa, a new ice age will begin, while the Western Hemisphere will literally be washed away by huge masses of water.

But the worst will happen later. According to scientists, 10 years after the Gulf Stream changes its direction, the current may stop for good. To confirm or disprove this assumption that the Gulf Stream really stops, Canadian researchers went on an experiment - they developed a special dye, poured it into containers and immersed it in the Gulf of Mexico to a depth of 900 meters. There, at a given depth, the dye containers explode, spraying the contents hundreds of meters away. A colored mass of ocean water spills over the Gulf Stream. It's unbelievable, but the suggestion that the Gulf Stream has stopped has been confirmed. Colored water, indeed, did not move towards Europe. Instead, the current has deviated 800 kilometers to the west and is now moving towards Greenland. That is why an anomalous warming is coming in Canada and instead of frost there, for a winter already, you can observe a temperature of about +10 degrees and rains.
