Gulf Stream weakening now 99% certain, and ramifications will be global
livescience.com

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.

Has anyone tried bribing the gulf stream with some of these massive profits? Everything has a price

Let's hire a private security firm to find some dirt on that son of a bitch. We'll find some fucking dirt to get him going!

I heard the gulf stream hangs out near Epstein's Island! (It's not that close, please don't flame my geography knowledge)

No, no, that would be too expensive. Let’s bribe lobby our bought elected representatives to pass laws saying it can’t do that. That’ll work

If the tax payers want to give me trillions then I can set up some giant fans along the gulf to push the water around

If the gulf stream wants a share of the profits, it needs to pull itself up by its bootstraps and put the work in itself.
