Warm currents will cool the Northern Hemisphere for several months
It turns out that global cooling may cover the entire northern hemisphere literally within a few months. Canadian scientist William Patterson believes that the cause of the cataclysm will warm currents of the North Atlantic, which, due to changes caused by external influence, will bring to the mainland cooling.
Such pessimistic forecast is based on a study of the ice period, “Young Dryas, which occurred in the northern hemisphere, 12.8 thousand years ago, wrote Science.YoRead.ru. Then melt the ice of Lake Agassiz in North America thrown into the North Atlantic and Arctic, an enormous amount of ice water. As a result, during the warm water has broken, and the northern hemisphere was plunged into the cold.
Team Patterson has collected information on the flow and temperature regime of the Young Dryas “in the oldest lake in Ireland – Lough Monriche. To do this, scientists using radiocarbon analysis examined settled at the bottom of the lake fossilized deposits. Their findings are disappointing – cold spell gripped the northern hemisphere for 3-4 months since its beginning, but after a couple of years, every life activity stopped altogether, and its restoration needed millennium.
However, this version of events, according to Patterson, could happen in the case of Greenland. Then, according to the hypothesis of the scientist, global cooling again can reach the northern hemisphere, and the events shown in the film The Day After Tomorrow “will become a reality.
