    If not for the gulf stream (a constant sea water movement) Europe would be much colder and Northern America much warmer. I wonder if climate warming could potentially stop this gulf stream

      The AMOC (Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation) is now creaking under the weight of all that Pacific heat in the ocean. If that goes - which is looking increasingly likely within the next 25-50 years - then sayonara Gulf Stream and Europe can look forward to what’s likely to be extremely sub-zero winter temperatures and soaring summer temperatures.

      I’m in the UK and I’ve bought an extra pair of mitts and a hand fan, so I’ll be laughing

          Let’s just put it this way. It is what was thought to have triggered previous ice ages.

              “yo we have the same cake day!”

              Idk why, but this made me laugh too much

                A little whimsy to make the world more bearable. Idk where I heard the advice, but:

                When you walk past a flower, stop and appreciate it. The weight of your worries will wait patiently, so take your time.

    It won’t take alien invasions, it won’t take world wars using nukes. It will simply be humans living day to day, consuming and altering everything they cross paths with.

      Surely you meant undressing, not literally naked (no underwear). Imagine the smell of thousand sweaty asscheeks
