Scientist Warn We’re on the Brink of a New Ice Age
Показать описание
Did you know that global warming could potentially trigger a new ice age? Did you know that the Gulf Stream, which keeps Western Europe warm, has weakened by 20% since 1950?

In this video, we explore the paradoxical possibility of a new ice age emerging from our warming planet. We delve into the complex mechanisms of Earth's climate system, focusing on the crucial role of ocean currents in regulating global temperatures.
The video begins by introducing the concept of abrupt climate change and the historical evidence for rapid cooling events. We then explain the intricate workings of the global ocean conveyor belt, particularly the Gulf Stream, and how it influences climate patterns across the Northern Hemisphere.
As we explore current scientific research, we discuss the alarming signs of freshening in the North Atlantic and the potential disruption of deep-water formation. We examine how the influx of freshwater from melting Arctic ice and Greenland glaciers could potentially shut down the ocean conveyor, leading to dramatic cooling in Europe and North America
