Before we press on, quick terminology tidy up for the AMOC and the Gulfstream, as the two are often confused. As we've just touched on, the Gulfstream is a part of the AMOC system, not the system itself. It's like an internal organ the AMOC couldn't function without. The Gulf Stream originates at the tip of Florida.

It's a warm and swift Atlantic Ocean current that follows the eastern coastline of the US and Canada before crossing the Atlantic Ocean towards Europe. Its job is to ensure that the climate of Western Europe is much warmer than it would be otherwise. For example, where I am today, it's about the same distance from the equator as the cold regions of Canada.

Yet here in England, we enjoy a much warmer climate. If it weren't for the warm water of the Gulf Stream, England would have a much colder climate. Perhaps not full day after tomorrow vibes, but the UK would be at least three to four degrees Celsius cooler. And in mainland Europe, things would be colder still by at least 10 degrees Celsius.

It's like a really fast highway, part of the journey taken by the warm water through the Amok, as it travels from the South Atlantic to the far north. When that highway ends, the warm water takes a different, smaller route, continuing its journey northwards. As it moves through the Atlantic, it loses heat through evaporation.

This leaves behind cooler, saltier water, which eventually hits the fresher waters of the North Atlantic. The Gulf Stream is caused by a large system of circular currents and powerful winds called an oceanic gyre. There are five oceanic gyres on Earth. The North Atlantic Gyre, South Atlantic Gyre, North Pacific Gyre, the South Pacific Gyre, and the Indian Ocean Gyre.

Given its location on Earth, the Gulf Stream is part of the North Atlantic Gyre. Now we've cleared up our currents, let's focus back in on the AMOC, and more specifically, the impact climate change is having and has had on it. As we touched on at the start, everything on Earth is connected, and the same is true here.

From that big clue we talked about earlier, the big coal blob that's the only place on Earth in the last 20 years to have cooled, Well, that's not just a surface cooling. That cooling extends down to a depth of 2,000 meters and is sort of the smoking gun to a slowing AMOC. You see, as well as that area getting colder, its salinity is also declining.
