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.

    It wont happen like in Day After Tomorrow.

    The beaches will get shorter, the docks will get deeper, then some warehouse will get flooded along with some homeless camp.

    Land prices will shift, people will move, it’ll be a curiosity.

    That island nation on the Pacific? Oh well.

      I haven’t even seen that movie. Never thought it was going to happen suddenly.
