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'm not very hopeful that the situation can or will be reversed. I have only a small hope that those responsible will eventually be properly blamed and punished - but even that is very small.
