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.

    For me, the biggest one is the push for a return to office. I see it as a great opportunity to contact the economy and reduce resource consumption and carbon production with a lot of white collar support. But the owners just aren’t having it and insist on a return to the status quo, even though it’s obvious we’re killing the environments we need to survive with this status quo.

      It’s one of the greatest sadnesses I can name. We were shown it was possible, and in many cases beneficial, and yet… We went back.

        Won’t anyone think of the commercial real estate market? Also, middle managers can’t middle manage remotely. Whats a middle manager to do if they can’t justify their position?
