That year will come and go and nothing of the sort will take place. Then everyone will start posting some new doomsday predictions, and you can all have your collective hysterical ventilating session.
Worth noting that mentioning 2025 is a bit sensationalist due to the extreme range of estimates. Central estimation is 2050.
Having said that, this would be catastrophic and the consensus is that things are in a critical phase. This would drastically alter Europe’s climate and could occur very soon.
Im in Ireland and this is worrying.
RIP UK. Get cross-country skis right away.
Doubt [X]
Why is the guardian so fucking shit now? Can we stop pretending that we have a single decent media outlet in the Anglo world at the very least please.
Saying the gulf stream is about to collapse right now is on the same level of insanity of them telling us a year or so ago that our reopening “risked the world”.
Print utter nonsense constantly, then tell people who’ve “had enough of experts” they’re bigots – when what those people usually mean is “I’ve actually just been reading the news and unfortunately you print nonsense”.
Ahhhh finally. Ice age conditions.
No, the Gulf stream will not collapse anytime soon and less water transported does not equal less *heat* transferred which is what we ultimately care about.
I’m not sure if this piece of crap is due to shitty science or shitty journalism. Either way it’s safe to ignore.
Isn’t the gulf stream caused by the literal rotation of the earth?
They literally picked out the absolute worst case scenario (being that it could collapse as soon as 2025 if emissions drastically increase) from a recent study and just ran with it as the headline. The scientific consensus is that it’s around 2050 if emissions don’t decrease enough. There’s still a good amount time to stop the Gulf Stream from collapsing but we have to keep on reducing emissions to make sure that a collapse doesn’t become a reality
Reddit intellectuals dismissing this as climate alarmism while Europe sees both its hottest and wettest summer for a long time and some of the most extreme ocean temperatures on record

pfff, never liked private jets
A theory, but top of website. This one better be wrong.
well that’s fucking terrifying
