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.

    Folks in Venice are regularly up to their knees in water already. New Orleans still has 25% less population than it did before Katrina. It’s already affecting major coastal cities in western countries, and even that doesn’t matter.

    This guy got it right: the entire western sociopolitical system is designed to stop this kind of problem from being solved.
