LOL. Of course you can take one spot and one moment and tell everything about the world. That's why they call it global, I guess... Message 22952294 The GULF STREAM originates in the GULF of Mexico, flows up the US east coast, then crosses the Atlantic, where it splits in two, with one branch crossing to West Africa. The other branch, the North Atlantic Drift, extends towards Europe. The warm water it brings to Western Europe's shores raises the temperature by as much as 10 degrees in some places and without it the continent would be much colder and drier.... Don't forget what you never knew, which is that London is as far north as Anchorage, Alaska. It's the Gulf Stream.
