Slowing Gulf Stream means a cooler NW Europe

in #gulf-stream • 6 years ago

The Gulf Stream is slowing which is due to deep water formation in the North Atlantic slowing. The deep water formation is the start of the Conveyor Belt which is a huge heat distribution mechanism for the planet. Since the Gulf Stream brings warm air to NW Europe and Scandinavia, a slowdown in the Gulf Stream means this warm air does not get transported there, and the region cools.
