This is the Thing That Worries Me Most

This article is about the Gulf Stream in the Atlantic. it bathes Europe with warm tropical waters and does much to control the cycle and stability of world (particularly western) climate. it seems that the temperature of the Gulf Stream has declined by nearly 1/3 over the last 12 years. As it turns out, the melting of the Polar Ice Caps introduces colder water into the worlds oceans, changing the temperature. This can/does lead to more extreme and erratic weather with can be a real danger.
