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.

          I heard the gulf stream hangs out near Epstein’s Island! (It’s not that close, please don’t flame my geography knowledge)

        No, no, that would be too expensive. Let’s bribe lobby our bought elected representatives to pass laws saying it can’t do that. That’ll work

        If the gulf stream wants a share of the profits, it needs to pull itself up by its bootstraps and put the work in itself.
