A patch of ocean south-east of Greenland is the only place on Earth that is cooling, and it could be a sign that the warm water "conveyor belt" in the Atlantic is slowing down
We’re not talking about a little drop in temperature you can tough out.
We’re talking about a permanent ice cover that makes agriculture impossible in all of Scandinavia.
Ok, so now the Gulf stream is collapsing, and I live in Sweden.
yay.
It’ll be less of a shock for you than Spain.
I don’t know, I think the shock will be pretty bad for us both…
I mean, the south of Sweden is at the same latitute as Newfoundland, Stockholm is at the same latitude as the southern tip of Greenland.
Spain is at the same latitude as New York, Washington and Virginia.
Let’s not compete about who will suffer the most.
Your homes/buildings are designed to keep heat in. Spanish buildings have airflow to keep heat out.
It’s not about suffering more, it’s about the change to infrastructure.
It’s also about not being able to grow any food when everything is permanently frozen…
Exactly. And we want to keep our summers and not have to spend every day indoors. Ffs, these people who are like “you’ll be fine”. Ridiculous.
Everyone suffers in that regard.
While everyone figures that out there are other issues like infrastructure.
It not just about infrastructure. We want to able to grow our own food and keep livestock and all that. Without the Gulf stream that’ll be… Harder. 🥶
