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

    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. 🥶

    If anyone wants to see if this will impact them and how bad, see https://amocscenarios.org/. Based on this research.

        Yeah I have a long list of wishes for that model too. Like base it one current climate forcing estimate of 2.8C. Make the color range more expressive.

        But some clicking around will show anyone that a lot will change. And that you really don’t want to be in the northern Atlantic and adjacent

          To be honest south uk looks pretty good but anywhere north or south is catastrophic.

            South UK still minus 2.3C, even with 2C climate forcing. That’s still quite a lot.

            Though not as much as Norway and Sweden

    It’s amazing how many hydroclimatologists are apparently in this thread eager to make sarcastic comments yet not able to publish their research.

    Nothing mysterious about this. Melting ice caps produce fresh surface water that doesn’t sink.

A community for discussing events around the World

Rules:

  • Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:

    • Post news articles only
    • Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
    • Title must match the article headline
    • Not United States Internal News
    • Recent (Past 30 Days)
    • Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
  • Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think “Is this fair use?”, it probably isn’t. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

  • Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.

  • Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.

  • Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025

  • Rule 5: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

  • Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

  • Rule 7: We didn’t USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you’re posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
