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?
I guess that it depends on what you believe might be the time line between now and when things start to become bad.
Its ok now of course, but I am sure many people have noticed a great deal of change in our weather within just a few years,..and much of that weather will be connected to the Gulf Stream
So if we are seeing a great deal of change now, then what will it be like in 10 years time,.. no-one knows of course,.. but it might be a preppers concern, and I think that there are some that are worth trying to deal with now
I dont want to go into old age because of forever rising heating bills, and lowering temps, and dieing because of the cold
...and I am sorry, I said that there was a program on tonight, but I also cant find it again,... there has been BBC programs on the subject before, so I suspect I have seen one of those advertised and failed to notice the old date
