The predicted effects of global warming are many and various,
both for the environment and for human life. There is some
speculation that global warming could, via a shutdown or
slowdown of the thermohaline circulation, trigger localised
cooling in the North Atlantic and lead to cooling, or lesser
warming, in that region. A northwards branch of the gulf stream,
the North Atlantic Drift, is part of the thermohaline
circulation (THC), transporting warmth further north to the
North Atlantic, where its effect in warming the atmosphere
contributes to warming Europe. For more information about the
