A new analysis has concluded that the Gulf Stream is definitely slowing, but whether it's due to climate change is hard to tell.

A new study has confirmed that the Gulf Stream, a crucial ocean current that helps regulate climate and sea levels, is weakening. The flow of warm water through the Florida Straits has slowed by 4% over the past four decades. This slowdown has significant implications for the world’s climate, and scientists are concerned that it may be a sign of further weakening to come.

      Psh, the capitalists will save us all with their record profits and zeros at the end of their bank accounts! I’m sure that’s not why these rich assholes aren’t trying to race into space or anything.

        Which is still incredibly stupid. Even with climate change Earth is a better environment for humans than fucking space. But making things better on Earth would mean doing something good to people that are not them and they can’t have that.
