Do you know why in Holland stillso mild a climate that there grow tulips, although in Siberia, which is located at the same latitude, permafrost is kept all the time? Why is Scandinavia so perfect for human life climate, and the British Isles are never covered with ice? Correctly, all of Europe until recently, carefully heated the Gulf Stream (current).
2013: the heart of the global climate has stopped
The oceanic current, carrying about 50 millioncubic meters of warm water per second, not only provided comfortable living and a warm climate for the population of Western Europe and the United States. The lack of frost and deep freezing of the soil made it possible to save hundreds of billions of dollars in infrastructure, as well as a huge amount of building materials, heaters and fuel (oil, gas, coal and electricity). Europe until recently did not need multi-kilometer heating mains and powerful heating plants. In addition, residents of European countries could save on the purchase of warm clothes. Thus, the Gulf Stream was a truly royal gift of nature to the population of the United States and Europe.
Unfortunately, we have witnessedthe incredible fact that the Gulf Stream stopped. 2013 can be called a transitional year to the beginning of global climate change on the whole planet. In 2010, the Western media began publishing articles stating that the Gulf Stream was stopping, this, in their opinion, was the beginning of a new ice age. There are some versions that more than 50% of humanity can die in connection with the beginning of cooling.
Why does the Gulf Stream stop?
The first person who reported thatThe Gulf Stream stops, it was Dr. Zangari, who had been watching the Gulf of Mexico for several years. It was he who compared the data obtained from satellites, said in 2010 that the current, stabilizing the climate on the planet, almost completely stopped. According to the physicist, the reason for this was oil spilled in the Gulf of Mexico and destroyed the boundary between the layers of cold and warm water.
Consequences of the disaster in the Gulf of Mexico
The consequences of the fact that the Gulf Stream stops,or rather, has practically ceased to exist, according to scientists, can be quite deplorable. There is an opinion that Europe and the US are already in full swing secret preparation for the beginning of a new ice age. As we can see in the news, European countries are stretching new pipelines, and the democratic revolutions taking place in North Africa and the Middle East look like an attempt to make energy resources available to them cheaper and more accessible.
Strangely enough, there is an opinion that Russiacan only benefit from stopping the Gulf Stream. It is possible that the climate in our country will become softer, and the yield of the main crops will significantly increase. However, there are scenarios with more tragic consequences for Russia. It remains only to hope that the darkest predictions made by scientists will never come to fruition.
