Misc 2021 Spring/Summer Whamby Thread

Second thought let’s not lose the Gulf Stream . I think it makes our climate a lot more boring and more stable with drier cooler summers .

I doubt it unless it completely reversed and became a cold current.

I doubt it unless it completely reversed and became a cold current.

I guess closest to figuring out what it would look like would be to get data on its strength and look at the weaker years and extrapolate from there . Probably not the most accurate as I doubt they have been tracking for long , think only since early 2000s.

I have some homemade chicken salad I can't wait to ravish at lunch.

Pack ASAP. From what I remember Mexico is the place we need to go to survive.

How many degrees will the temp in Atlanta plummet ?

50-100

50-100

We can hope. ?

Same result - onset ice to rain. A bird special.

Let’s goooooooooooo ! Let’s stop the Gulf Stream NOW!

The Gulf Stream is slowing down. That could mean rising seas and a hotter Florida

The Gulf Stream, the warm current that brings the east coast of Florida the mixed blessings of abundant swordfish, mild winters and stronger hurricanes, may be weakening because of climate change.

I love reading GW articles filled with the words, might, maybe, may, we think, possible, forecasted, predictions, could etc. Science!

I'm trying to wait until 12:30 to have lunch, but that chicken salad is calling my name.

Will they close the office early because of this?

Just do it man. Report back with results.

That would be hilarious actually . I’m not really sure what it would to us here , if anything since we are on the east coast of a continent and our weather mostly is influenced by the continent . Maybe a drier more stable climate perhaps . The higher sea level on east coast thing would be true though if the currents shut down . Let’s do it , this will be fun if you ask me!

Pretty much , weaker gradient , weaker mid latitude storms . No more Jan 2000 type scenarios . I think it would make for a climate with slightly cooler summers and near identical winters but much more stable . No more 84 degree days with dews near 70 on Christmas on the coast .

Not sure I get your definition of "fun," but for actual weather enthusiasts, it seems like:

Never eat lunch before 12. It's bad luck.
