A new study has confirmed that the Gulf Stream, a crucial ocean current that helps regulate climate and sea levels, is weakening. The flow of warm water through the Florida Straits has slowed by 4% over the past four decades. This slowdown has significant implications for the world's climate, and scientists are concerned that it may be a sign of further weakening to come.

This means Europe will freeze.

Just northern Europe though, like where I live.

Concentrate heat in one section of your house. Make that room comfortable so people in your household want to hang out there. It might seem counterintuitive but freeze a large pot of water so you can keep your food from spoiling in a blackout. Which means it is a good time to make sure you can still heat your home without electricity. If possible setup a space heater in your bathroom around shower time, you want to be warm when you are wet. If you lose all heat it is family snuggle time, kids sleep in the same bed as parents. Make sure you have quilts.

When you travel take an ice pack and microwave it to warm, keep it in your pocket. If you have a car make sure you have space blankets and a large candle with the ability to light it. Remember that clothing can keep you warm and cold so in a warm situation take your extra layer off.

I survived Alaska and the Northern Appalachia, if a dumb ass like me can survive it you can as well.
