The Mail are totally selling it to me to be fair by using that lovely picture of a frost fair on the Thames.

The Gulf Stream is awesome and will be around for many thousands of years. Yay.

Is this some sort of weird critique of the aerospace company, or do you actually have something against an ocean current?

I'm not sure a speech from around 2006/7 is the strong confirmation that it appears. The AMOC stuff hasn't just been made up on the back of a postcard.

Lots of caveats though. It suggests that there is a tipping point but is unclear as to if or when that might be reached.

There's other stuff around it, and I know the AMOC stuff hasn't just been made up, just sensationalised.
