[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP-   There are  much bigger things to worry about in life.  Europe benefits the most from the Gulf Steam. If you look at similar latitudes in N America you can see how much more temperate Europe is. BUT Europe's been really impacted by increased heat waves from climate change.  They'd go the other way with colder temps rather than hotter, but they'd adapt.  Europe was colder in the past and didn't have the technology and infrastructure that it does now.  Yes, ocean circulation and global weather would be impacted because everything is interrelated.  But not clear this would mean much for most of the planet.

Other than that, the lowest point in DC is 140' elevation.  Even places like Ocean City and Rehoboth Beach are at 7'.  Clearly coastal communities would be impacted and housing lost to the ocean... but I'm not sure what you are concerned about.   This sounds like doom and gloom fantasy porn.   Not much reality here.

I think I actually read something recently that some of these ocean circulations are likely to be a problem sooner rather than later. Maybe not in a "Day After Tomorrow" sense but in terms of having real effects. Gah, I know I won't be able to find that article but if I can I'll post. [/quote]
