Freezing future Scientists have found evidence which suggests that
global warming may affect the ocean current known as the North
Atlantic Drift, which brings warm water to northwest Europe from
the Gulf Stream and sends cold deep water back. This current helps
to keep temperatures in northwest Europe up and, if it were to be
disturbed, temperatures could drop by 5 degrees celsius or
