Superstorm quickwatch The Gulf Stream has been found to be essentially breaking down. The great columns of water that keep it flowing have been reduced to just two, and they are weakening rapidly. The failure of this current will have catastrophic effects in Europe and North America, completely transforming the climate of these areas in ways that cannot now be predicted, but will probably involve a significant lengthening of winter and a dramatically curtailed growing season in this presently surplus food area.
Along with the impending change in the structure of the ocean will come a reduction in planetary air movement, with the effect that air mixing and the clearing of polluted areas will become less robust. All regions generating high levels of pollution are therefore at risk of becoming unlivable for extended periods during pollution emergencies. In early 2006, such a situation arose in Tehran, with the loss of much life, and this effect is likely to become commonplace worldwide after 2007 to 2009. Posted: 8:27:44 PM
