The Gulf Stream could COLLAPSE as early as 2025 – plunging Europe into a deep freeze, scientists warnhttps://t.co/iMfLUB4xlT— VHS Archive 56 🐮 🥞 (@VHS_Archive) February 12, 2024
In the 2004 film The Day After Tomorrow, humanity is plunged into a nightmarish international storm that sends the planet into a new ice age.
And although the blockbuster was consigned to the realms of sci-fi, the science behind the frightening scenario is true.
In a matter of years, melting glaciers could shut down the Gulf Stream – the system of currents that brings warmth to the northern hemisphere, experts say.
Without this additional heat source, average temperatures could drop by several degrees in North America, parts of Asia and Europe, and people would see ‘severe and cascading consequences around the world’.
