The powerful North Atlantic winds that contribute to the movement of the Gulf Stream are already being weakened, according to recent research, by climate change.**
Professor Mark Maslin, who co-wrote the article and provided the image via Getty, stresses the importance of ocean currents for regulating the climate and transferring heat.**
According to Maslin, “paradoxically,” the disruption of the AMOC might cause much of Europe to cool down as a result of climate change.**
The consequences may be enormous even if the Gulf Stream were to partially collapse.** by via of Shutterstock. Temperatures in Europe might drop by 10–15°C (18–27°F) if things go very bad.**
Disruptions to weather patterns, agricultural practices, and sea levels would result from such a decline.**
