The Gulf Stream is almost certainly weakening, a new study has confirmed.
The flow of warm water through the Florida Straits has slowed by 4% over the past four decades, with grave implications for the world's climate.
The ocean current starts near Florida and threads a belt of warm water along the U.S. East Coast and Canada before crossing the Atlantic to Europe. The heat it transports is essential for maintaining temperate conditions and regulating sea levels.
