The Gulf Stream system of warm ocean currents could collapse as early as 2025, a scientific study has warned.

“Since meltwater is freshwater, it dilutes the salt content of the surrounding ocean, which contributes to slowing the Gulf stream system,” Rahmstorf said.

But supply of salty waters from the south, through the Gulf Stream System, balances this.

Since this sinking – the so-called deep water formation – drives the Gulf Stream System, the current continues to weaken.

Two days later the first results were available and we all were surprised how quickly the dye was spreading into the Florida Current and Gulf Stream system.
