Britain faces big chill as ocean current slows Jonathan Leake, Science Editor CLIMATE change researchers have detected the first signs of a slowdown in the Gulf Stream — the mighty ocean current that keeps Britain and Europe from freezing. They have found that one of the “engines” driving the Gulf Stream — the sinking of supercooled water in the Greenland Sea — has weakened to less than a quarter of its former strength. The weakening, apparently caused by global warming, could herald big changes in the current over the next few years or decades. Paradoxically, it could lead to Britain and northwestern and Europe undergoing a sharp drop in temperatures. more timesonline.co.uk I'll try and give you an example maybe you can relate to. There are at least 5 ways to take a person's temp, and they all give different results; sub-lingual, axillary, rectal, aural, cutaneous. Now, if you get gangrene in a leg and it dies, it's cutaneous temp will go down. But the rest of the body is fighting this massive infection and you have a very high temperature at the other 4 sites. But you can treat that with surgery and antibiotics if you are lucky.
