The Gulf Stream Is Dying — And Europe Could Freeze - video Dailymotion

WooGlobe

The Gulf Stream — the powerful ocean current keeping Europe warm — has been weakening for over 300 years, far longer than scientists once believed. New research suggests it could soon hit a tipping point, risking a collapse that might plunge Europe into an endless winter, shift global weather patterns, and threaten food security worldwide. This discovery, revealed through centuries-old stalagmite records in Bermuda, is a stark warning that climate change is pushing Earth’s systems to the brink. Could we be on the edge of a climate catastrophe? WooGlobe Ref : WGA721780 For licensing and to use this video, please email licensing@wooglobe.com

00:00Imagine Europe suddenly plunged into an endless winter, frozen rivers, blizzards that never stop.

00:06Scientists now warn this nightmare could be closer than ever.

00:10The Gulf Stream, the ocean current that keeps Europe warm, has been weakening for not decades, but for over 300 years.

00:17New research shows it started slowing down long before the Industrial Revolution,

00:22making it far more sensitive to climate change than we thought.

00:24This conveyor belt of the ocean moves warm water north, keeping Europe and the U.S. East Coast temperate.

00:31But if it collapses, northern Europe could cool by up to 15 degrees Celsius.

00:36Weather patterns worldwide would shift, and food security could be at risk.

00:40How did scientists figure this out?

00:42By studying stalagmites in Bermuda that recorded centuries of ocean temperature changes.

00:47Their warning is clear.

00:49As the planet heats up, the Gulf Stream may be nearing a tipping point that could change our world forever.
