"When the last tree is uprooted, when the last river will be poisoned, when the last fish is caught, you will realize that money is impossible"

From the message Indian chiefs American society

"Stove Europe"

The location of the world weather cuisine is in North Atlantic. Tubes and batteries this "kitchen" - the warm Gulf stream, and boiler room - Gulf of Mexico. Here the tropical sun 365 days a year providing water incredible amount of thermal energy. Walking Ring over in colossal "plate" of the Bay, the water is heated and poured into the ocean by the Gulf stream.

This warm megarika with the capacity of 50 m3/sec (20 times more than the total flow of all rivers in the world) flows North along the coast of North America. Giving subtropical and temperate climate of the Eastern States of the USA, the Gulf stream moves away from the coast in the open ocean, where he met with the cold Labrador current and turns toward Europe. Ocean water as would describes eight: coming from the North the cold Labrador current runs under the warm Gulf stream without blocking him to carry the heat to Europe emerges off the coast of Spain in the form of cold Canary current, crosses the Atlantic, is included into the Gulf of Mexico, is heated, becomes the Gulf stream and again goes to the North.

Climate Paradise

On the way to the Gulf stream is cooled, however, brings to Europe is still enough heat, making it an unusually mild climate. Thermal capacity of this "river" is equivalent to the capacity of 1000000 (one million!) NPP centuries warming the US and the EU. Yes, comfortable climate, these countries are obliged to the Gulf stream, raising their average annual temperature is 10-15 degrees. I will list some of the more important climatic gifts of the Gulf stream.

First, it creates ideal conditions for agriculture. The average grain yield in the black soil of the Rostov region - 28 centners per hectare, while in the non-Chernozem of Western Europe - 65-80 centners per hectare. As in the States) no droughts and frosts, killing crops. The surplus obtained in Paradise conditions harvest export: USA - 100 million tons, Western Europe - 50 million tons per year. There crop yield depends on the climate by 5 percent, and in Russia - by 50 percent!

Second: they save a lot of money in the infrastructure and its operation. Remember how Hollywood Rambo fist punches the wall of the house? There, the walls are. I tried it on our own, in four bricks! And we need them to not freeze.

Third: saves the astronomical amount of fuel resources, electric power, building materials, heaters; 't need powerful TEPs, heating.
Fourth: the beautiful roads of the West are saved tens of times better because of the lack
murderous "freezing-thawing" of the soil. And the cars on Russian roads and in our climate lives much less than in the native zakordon.
Fifth: the people at the local climate needs neither warm clothes nor high-calorie food in conditions of cold weather. By the way, their mild climate and wrinkles on the face makes less. Well, right? Live don't want to. However...

Labrador switch

However, it will not always. Work planetary stove Golfstream periodically violated. Yes, planetary, for a period is a key element of regulation weather on the planet, with impacts not only on the temperature of the ocean, but also on the atmosphere - strength, direction, temperature, air flow, rainfall, and so on. Identifying important salinity of the ocean, which is changing due to ice melt and flow of fresh water rivers. Russian scientists have been pointing to the slowdown of the Gulf stream due to desalination waters of the Labrador current.

Now their density is only 0.1 % higher than the density of the Gulf stream waters. Not the notorious "greenhouse effect", does not exhaust your car and deodorant, namely, the density of the Labrador current influences on today's warming. Just 0.1 percent - and climate Paradise on both sides of the Atlantic, palm trees in London, ice fjords of Norway... But as soon as the Labrador within equal density of the Gulf stream, it will come to the surface of the ocean and thus block the movement of warm water to the North. We live in a period: the rate of flow of the Gulf stream has decreased twice in several years! The coming of cold is something that comes naturally.
True, the "world public opinion" are used quite different scenarios - "global warming", "greenhouse effect" and so on.

And "well-informed circles for a long time already know: we are at the beginning of the period a natural cooling. Yes, that warming, which in someone's direction, as usual, the cry of the world's media, for the past five or six years THERE. The temperature of the oceans remains constant and will soon begin to decline. But then after some time again warmer!

The so-called "small" ice ages have happened before. In 1300 the Gulf stream also slowed, and a century and a half in Europe and in the East of North America was luteal cold. History repeated itself in the XIV, XV, XVI, XVII and XIX centuries. What paintings were in 1605-1630 years of prominent Dutch artists? Some names which are: "the Ice edge", "Ice city", "ice Skating" and much more - solid snow Yes ice! Exactly what the latest generation of the Dutch know by hearsay. And when work Labrador switch, accommodation in Europe, Canada and America will become unbearable, the temperature of air will be a Siberian.

Actually, Siberia to Europe already began its offensive. The strongest over the past century cold in December 2010 dropped to England, paralyzing the entire transport. Were regularly come under the impact of cold weather in the USA. Comfortable life ends, it is necessary to prepare the sledge. And maybe someone decided to prevent the cooling-down of the Gulf stream.


Ecological bomb

April 20, 2010 in the Gulf of Mexico to drilling Deepwater Horizon, which is owned by British Petroleum (BP) accident, platform exploded and sank. From the damaged wells at a depth of about a mile he started to beat the oil is hot (+400 deg C), heavy, dark, with high content of bitumen and methane. Leaving the mouth erupting well under high pressure in great depth (150 atmospheres), it is mixed with water to form an emulsion. Its small part (light fractions) has floated to the surface, was seen and played its role - appeared in the media, has caused indignation and so on. Struggling with her, BP poured water Gulf of dispersant Corexit. Corexit: powerful solvent; formula and characteristics of highly classified; it is thought that in a few roses more toxic to all living things, than the oil itself.

When this treatment is contained in the emulsion oil does not disappear, but protoplanets to the bottom, where it then long "eat" bacteria. So I managed to hide most of the emerged oil, seriously reducing the size of the oil slick and, accordingly, the amount of the fine. And most of the oil is not even surfaced. At depth, were discovered accumulations emulsion huge size (for example, 16 km long, 5 kilometers wide and 100 meters thick)that the Gulf stream slowly took in the Atlantic. Somewhere along the way they pop up is not already visible, and a thin film. Just from the emergency wells emerged 6 250 000 barrels of oil, it continues to ooze; the Gulf stream has already picked her for the most part of the Atlantic.

One cubic meter of oil (5 barrels) covers one square kilometre of ocean. The film thickness of only 50 micron thickness of a human hair) leads to a decrease in evaporation 60 percent, slowing the cooling water. In addition to oil, BP added into the waters of the Gulf of 9 million liters of corexit, 10 million liters of other chemicals. The water was a little bit darker and therefore faster heated by the sun. But, saturated by oil emulsion, it changed its viscosity, which violates the heat exchange between warm and cold layers - they are worse mixed. If you just mix sunflower oil and vinegar and leave them alone, they again separated because of the differences in density. And whipped in a blender, they form a liquid from a different density, flow, it will be much slower.

What we have in result?

1. Is a natural process: freshening of the Labrador current, gradual displacement them easier Gulf stream, the disappearance of a favorable climate on both sides of the Atlantic.
2. The catastrophe occurs exactly on the deep well (drown which is very, very difficult, if possible at all), from which emanates heavy oil (it did not pop up immediately, and sent throughout the ocean).
3. Changes the heat exchange of water masses, the heat is not delivered to remote regions, and in one place would be too much, while others lack.

The internal flow backed up in the Gulf of Mexico; pump warm Gulf stream waters failed at the very beginning - in the Ring current. There's an unnatural system with a radically different sea water parameters (viscosity, temperature, salinity), which led to the halt lasted millions of years of running the Ring current. The disaster at the "Deepwater Horizon" gave impetus to the RAPID change in global climate.

The advent of " white land"

The first may suffer Western Europe, where significantly colder, then climate change will affect the entire planet. This process will be very fast - 3-20 years.
The Gulf stream will not have time compto netravati Arctic cold; no stop in Scandinavia is formed largest glacier, and in Europe will come a glacial period. To stop the Gulf stream and the arrival of another "small" ice age, coinciding with "the Maunder minimum" (a decrease in solar activity), the US and Western Europe will not become extinct. But living there seriously will fall, and the economy can't come close to collapse. And that's not spoiled climate in Russia, the consequences will be quite portable.
