RE: Gulf Stream/colder winters????
I honestly don't know HL, if we should be taking it into account in prepping or not. I guess it's another topic for late night reading!
I seem to remember reading (or seeing) something about a decrease in the salinity of the North Atlantic, caused by all the additional fresh water entering it from those melting ice caps and from defrosting tundra in Canada and Russia (on top of the methane release!). I'm not sure about the mechanics of the thing but something like the seawater needing the salinity as well as the colder temperatures, to sink sufficiently to keep the conveyor running...?
I'd be very interested in a programme about it but after searching around a bit, I can't find any mention of it. Do you have any more info on that?
People do prep for all sorts of reasons though, don't they? Some of those have even more remote possibilities so why not this?
