Will Europe Freeze over When the Gulf Stream Stops? #kurzgesagt #shorts

In the early 16th century, European explorers noticed something strange. Sailing down the east coast of Florida was almost impossible. Even with good winds they ended up sailing backwards. Today we know that the reason for this one-way-sailing route is the same thing that keeps the water levels around the east coast low and the weather in Europe mild. It’s the Gulf Stream! But can climate change stop it? And what happens then? Sit back and enjoy the show, because we're going to look into it now!

I like how they have a wall for their existential crisis videos.

[ASHE_ATTACC]

Eggman absolutely would have a massive red glowing button that just stops the flow of an ocean current, he's *that* type of guy

[pufferfish]

"You're too late Sonic! I turned off Gulfstream!"

[MaorGD]

"SONIC, EGGMAN IS FREEZING EUROPE!"

[CJ]

As a person who typically confuses the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation for the Gulf Stream, I found this video very helpful

[Tmitric]

Eggman finished Sonic off, now he's got it out for the birbs💀💀

[GavinArtster]

Dr Robotnik: YOURE TOO LATE SONIC, IVE ALREADY COLLAPSED THE STREAM

[GoofballEgghead]

I'm sorry but eggman randomly appearing with no context caught me off guard 💀

[creatorgamer]

Ah, another piece of existential dread to add to my collection

[slothbirdbeard]

"Will the slowing Gulf stream cause a European ice age?"

"No, but the slowing AMOC will"

[Loganbuddy]

All video game references in order:
- Cheep Cheep (Super Mario)
- Crewmate/Impostor (Among us)
- Dr Ivo Robotnik/Eggman (Sonic The Hedgehog)

[Pandoras__Box]

"Gulf stream to collapse the day after tomorrow" love the reference

[KjV]

*Kurzgasagt in a nutshell:*

We're all going to die.

Actually, no we won't

... Then again, we might

[CHCKN.]

Eggman has some beef with the AMOC current

[basvandepitte]

The wall of existential dread is officially kurzgesagt canon now
I have started a lecture about climate change in the comments

[burgerdogVR]

among us, the ice age movie and DR EGGMAN???
how many references in one video.

[epic--yt]

Eggman not only hates sonic, he also hate sea creatures!!
(Bro has beef with squidward💀💀)

[aberrantartist]

I love how detailed even your shortest videos are. The ferrel, Hadley, and polar wind cells all displayed and circulating alongside engaging maps. You guys truly make an impact on quality and presentation for educational content

[kianamarrie]

*The Amoc runs Amok*
Eggman: “Heurrg! He’s not gonna get away with this!!! All systems - full power!”

[ChrisScottNI]

''You're too late Sonic, I have all 7 ice ages''
