The "Stream" as we call it around here is the dual product of warm, expanding tropical waters, and cold, sinking salt water south of Greenland and Iceland.

Even though the year 2015 has produced many record high temperatures, a cold patch of water has developed south of Greenland due to increased glacial melt. Since the glacial melt is predominantly fresh water, it is lighter than the surrounding sea water. The resulting reduced density also reduces the sinking effect which tends to pull water northward. If the north eastward flow of the Gulf Stream were significantly reduced over the long term, the climates of eastern Canada and western Europe would become much colder. There would also be large changes in fish populations and other marine ecology.

The 2015 El Nino is supposed to be a really bad one. -- Ban idiots, not guns! And why is it bad. Is a natural function. We have had them before. Brings rains to us in the west. Change 'bad' to 'severe'. That should take the argumentative value out of my statement. :) -- Ban idiots, not guns! |

Well, Swill...you sound like that Alberta premier who said..."Let the Eastern *******s freeze in the dark". Only thinking of yourself, eh? Do you have any idea what's going on in the western US, donne'? You sound totally oblivious. -- Ban idiots, not guns! |
