The discovery raises the possibility that the current will weaken even more, which would be disastrous for the UK and Ireland and bad news for many other locations. Northern Europe's climate has been governed for … [Read more...] about Europe Will Freeze if The Gulf Stream Ceases, Which is at Its Weakest Level in More Than a Thousand Years
