EUROPE - Ocean Current Near Collapse
Europe is in danger of significant cooling, climate scientists warn after news broke that one of Earth’s major ocean currents is on the way to collapse due to the effects of global warming.
These concerns have come to light following a recent study, helmed by researcher René M. van Westen, which claims that the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC), one of Earth’s major ocean currents, is on route to cease flowing.
As such, the AMOC collapsing would likely lead to a notable cooling of the northern hemisphere, specifically in Europe, and a potential rise in sea levels along eastern United States coasts.
“Let’s put this in context. Let’s say this happens by the end of the century: this would mean a very significant and rapid cooling of the northern hemisphere. So despite global warming being the potential trigger for this, the response would be a significant cooling of Europe, which is opposed to the warming trends that we’re seeing right now,” he elaborates.
According to Tel Aviv University’s Professor Colin Price, “It may have a small effect on global temperatures, but it may have a dramatic impact on the economy of specific countries close to the Atlantic.”
While there’s no telling exactly how soon this collapse may take place, the implications are critical to understand—at the very least, we all need to plan our trips to French wine country before it freezes over.

Arno's Commentary
Confusion galore! Global warming will freeze Europe? The smartest minds in the world are desperately trying to justify their research into the unknown.
When it comes to global warming, yes, certain measurements have been taken in the last 100 plus years, but there is no evidence supported by facts and figures about what the temperature was like 500, 1000, 2000, or 3000 years ago.
Why do we hear so much sensationalism relating to planet earth in the last few years? There is a volume of diverse and contradictory “science” available on the internet. It seems like everyone knows what will happen in the future, but in reality, they don’t.
Here is what the Bible says: “The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to his place where he arose. The wind goeth toward the south, and turneth about unto the north; it whirleth about continually, and the wind returneth again according to his circuits” (Ecclesiastes 1:5-6). These are the words King Solomon wrote some 3,000 years ago. When it comes to the earth, verse 4 reads: “One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever.”
We believe that the many fear-instilling discoveries are fueled by the spirit of unity. Why unity? In order to oppose the One who created all things and who, in person, is the Prince of Peace. The forces of darkness, dominated by the god of this world, will and must establish a peaceful global society with prosperity and security for all—but we repeat, it’s only temporary.
Real peace will only be established when the Prince of Peace comes. He will change the laws of nature. Something amazing will happen, for Revelation 21:1b says, “and there was no more sea.” The animal world will be changed: “The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock: and dust shall be the serpent’s meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the Lord” (Isaiah 65:25). That is the real future.
