Does the Gulf Stream Keep Europe Warm? Europe's mild climate is not caused by the Gulf Stream alone. The warm water that reaches Europe is carried mainly by the North Atlantic Current, the northeast extension of the Gulf Stream and part of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation. Atmospheric westerly winds explain most of Europe's winter warmth relative to the same latitudes in eastern North America, with ocean heat transport providing an important but secondary contribution.

Does the Gulf Stream singlehandedly warm Europe? Not quite - wind patterns and the North Atlantic Current do the heavy lifting. Want the full climate picture? #AMOC #EuropeClimate #GulfStream #NorthAtlanticCurrent #OceanCirculation

Collapse of critical Atlantic current is no longer low-likelihood, study finds Scientists say ‘shocking’ discovery shows rapid cuts in carbon emissions are needed to avoid catastrophic fallout

I'm sure there's a free market solution to this problem
