    Anyways, Im guessing some of you may be a little bit skeptical of my video, which is totally understandable. Most people had said that the Gulf stream is what warms europe. And that was what originally my video was going to talk about. But turns out it's not the ONLY thing that warms europe. After dozens of hours of researching, I've come to find many fascinating claims, and I decided to write about it. Just in case you want to see what I've been researching, I'll post links here.

    Hello everyone. Thanks for watching this video! It is heartbreaking to say that I can’t make as much videos now then I could during lockdown. School started, and I have become very very busy. My most recent videos are actually school project as well. I might only be posting once a month now :/ I will try my best however to make quality content whenever I have time.

    The UK is a Maritime climate it feels colder than the temperature on the forecast. I am from Scotland, if it says it is 10 degrees outside, you think "that's not that bad" but you step outside and you have wind in all directions (because it is a small island) and your clothes never fully dry after they get wet. Put it this way Maritime climate feel alot colder than the temperature forecast and that is probably why people mistake the British isles for a cold region when in fact it is actually a mild region temperature wise.
    If you can imagine this, think about a cold day in your country and then visit the beach, think about how the beach feels compared to the mainland. The UK and Rep.Ireland are Islands people seem to forget that.

    The evaporation of the gulf stream is the sole reason why it rains so much in countries like Norway and England. It still continues to northern Europe just in the air. Its a very strong evidence for the gulf stream between northern Norway and Svalbard where there is suppose to be ice but the stream prevent it from forming. Its also why there are never Polar bears in Norway because they simply cant travel on the ice sheets like they do between Iceland/greenland Svalbard/north pole etc

      Europe actually receives very little precipitation for its latitude, so that forests shouldn't exist there and instead look more like the american central prairies, for reference, most of the eastern US and northern west coast receives at least 1000 mm (40 inches) which is the minimal required for forestry. London and Paris receive around 600-700 mm annually (25 inches). But of course, forests exist because the lack of precipitation gets compensated by the moist air and fog from the Atlantic and Mediterranean just like california.
      Only norway and the balkans receive over 1000 mm average and not surprising why these places are also snowier.

    The ocean does not heat and cool as fast as the land so places near the ocean have warmer winters and cooler summers. This effect is strongest on west coasts. This effect does work in the Pacific Northwest but the effect does not go as far inland because the mountains stop ocean air. Mongolia and Canada are just as warm of warmer than Britain is the summer but are way colder in the winter.

    Didn’t ya’ll learn that areas by the sea have coast Climate? Areas by the sea has mild winters and cold summers, because in the Winter the sea is still Wars from the summer and vise versa. If you’re located far away from a sea your summer and Winter Will be very diverse. Then you’ll have Warm summers and cold winters. I live by the sea and in the winter we get like -20°c on a cold day, maybe -25°. If you go away from de sea like 200 km it Will normaly be -25°c or higher!
    Edit: By this I meant being close to a large body of water Will give milder winters, but it’s not the only factor. Other stuff like ocean currents, wind currents and topographic height is also factors which can change the climate of a certain place

      As pointed out in the video, being close to a large body of water doesn’t guarantee a mild winter, it’s a combination of water and the polar jet stream which pushes mild, warm air over the western coasts of continents and pushes it away from the eastern coasts of continents. Thus why New York City is much colder than Portugal in the winter, even though both are on the Atlantic Ocean and the same latitude.

      The only exception of that are the Gobi deserts and the South East Asian Rainforest ,the Himalaya fucked their emplacement ,made the rainforest extend North and the Gobi deserts too (well not like that ,Himalaya is here ,because of that ,wind and other factor don't allow the Gobi desert to exist on the Tropic of Cancer ,so it end way up North ,and because rainforest growth is stimulated by something the desert bring them thanks to wind ,the rainforest of the Indonesian archipelagos ended up expanding to the North too ,also Notice how the distance between the Gobi desert and the Rainforest in China is pretty much the same distance between the Equator and the Tropic/Amazon and the Mexican desert/Congolese rainforest and the Sahara)

    The gulf stream and the jet stream coming for the SW to the Uk makes this huge difference.

The west and south of the Uk is warmer than the NE of the UK, with temperatures been 10°C to 20°C cooler in the NE, the distance between is only 300 to 350 miles and the temperature difference is extremely noticeable.

    I will still challenge this new theory. Even though the gulfstream (AMOC) system does not cause direct heating of Britain and Europe - it does affect the wind pattern to a large extent. And no, Alaska is not noticeably warmer than Russia on the same latitude, its still freezing with lots of snowfall.
    It's true the UK is warm in the winter because the wind blowing from the West-South-West direction. Sure, that will bring moisture and warm air from the central North Atlantic. The sea surface temperatures around Britain are about ~10*C in winter so there is no sea ice.
    However, the most important part of it is further North. The Norwegian and Barents seas - are also Ice free all year round, even during colder years. That is the big answer, not the Rockies thousands of miles away. This huge ice free area of the ocean does not chill the air above it the same way ice does, and that allows warm plumes of air from the south to make it far North without being interrupted. This process is strengthened because a low pressure system forms over Iceland and that speeds it up and makes it warmer.
    Now the conclusion.
    If the Gulfstream system shut down, or wasn't there at all, then the entire sea off Norway would freeze over down to say the latitude of the arctic circle. Sea ice would surround Iceland on all sides.
    That will do two things:
    1. Scandinavia being downwind gets really cold. (a bit like Alaska)
    2. The wind wind speed blowing over the Atlantic towards Britain will also ramp up, and blow from a more North-West direction.
    And there you have it. By eliminating the Gulfstream you get an altered wind pattern. It's the presence of sea ice that makes the difference* It's a powerful temperature lever.

    Interesting and cogent presentation. I hope your audience understands that science doesn’t come up with “facts” but is based on evidence. The problem is that the scientific process usually likes to control for confounding variables but real life gets in the way. So it’s hypotheses can’t be confirmed because of numerous variables which leads to correlational data and we’re guessing at that point. My folks emigrated from Scotland to the US. I remember an early trip to visit my family. We left Philadelphia and it was 90F and when we landed in London it was in the upper 50’s and when we got to Edinburgh it was 40 with snow flurries. I was 8 years old and wearing a tee shirt. That was my early lesson on the latitude variable in your equation. Keep up the good work, I’m looking forward to seeing your other videos. Cheers the now

The Labrador Current is not the entire story here; water temperatures in the ocean, even with the Labrador Current, will always be milder than any cold air blowing in from the continental interior in the wintertime. The southwestern-most tip of Nova Scotia actually meets the criteria for an oceanic (AKA marine west coast) climate, likely due to there being just enough Gulf of Maine water between there and the North American mainland. There are also a few other places off of the New England coast that meet the criteria for an oceanic climate, such as Block Island, Nantucket, and parts of Cape Cod.
      When using a lowest monthly mean temperature of -3C, even more areas on the Northeast Coast meet the criteria for an oceanic climate, even reaching as far north as the southeastern-most part of Newfoundland's Avalon Peninsula, at Cape Race; specifically, a subpolar oceanic climate: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Newfoundland_K%C3%B6ppen.svg. North American climatologists typically use a lowest monthly mean of 0C to separate temperate from continental climates, though, apparently in an effort to try to confine oceanic climates to the West Coast (and stay as close as possible to the term "marine west coast").
      Generally, though, these small pockets of the Northeast Coast with oceanic climates are microclimates along the Atlantic shore. If anything, I would suspect that the Labrador current has a stronger cooling effect on warm-season temperatures.

    The British Isles are in practice an island in the North Atlantic.
    The prevailing winds are from the west. The winds will on average have the the temperature of the ocean to the west of Britain. Hence that will be the temperature of Britain in the winter time, same goes for Norway, France etc.
    Not so for Canada and Siberia etc. The winds from the ocean doesn't reach into those large continental landmasses. They will get a temperature dictated by the temperature of the air masses residing there in winter time, which often is very low indeed as the sunshine is almost absent, and often influenced by air coming down from the polar areas. The role of the Gulf Stream is highly exaggerated and is an anachronistic misunderstanding.

    Historically Western Europe has benefited from shallow seas, low mountain ranges and before the thaw of the last Ice Age, also land bridges, making it easier for various groups, to move around and successfully colonise Europe. So much so that the gene pool, allowed greater innovation through diversity and of course the climate re-enforced that advantage.

    Well, I wouldn't call the UK warm. It's definitely warmer statistically than Canada but it is not a warm country. Also, the British isles is a maritime climate meaning it always feels colder than the actual temperature that you see on TV. So if it says the UK is 5 degrees outside then it would feel -5 degrees outside.

    In Sweden we can be compared to siberia like canada is compared to britain, and many people think that we have warmer climete than siberia, but its not really true. Yes, we have not as extreme winters as russia, but we also don't have as extreme summers either. In winter we can quite quickly get -20 to -30 degrees, which isn't too far off the -40 to -50 they have in siberia, and in summer, we have an average of only 15-25 degrees and only 30+ in extreme conditions while in siberia you could quickly get 30-40 degrees on average, so if anything, it seems like sweden is somewhat colder than siberia. As I usually say as a joke to other foreigners: Sweden is a foretaste of siberia, while Norway, especially the north cape, is a foretaste of the archtic.

    Nope, this vid and the comments are wrong. Its not the gulfstream, it's that europe is not a massive continent with lots of water around it, like a mega archipelago.
    The first source of winds, just like any weather on earth, including climate change, is due to the Sun warming the earth. And most of the sunrays are absorbed by water in europe instead of being reflected by the continent or icesheets.
    Water evaporates, water is the highest naturally occuring greenhouse gas. Making western europe warmer and more humid, and low pressure and therefore will pull the air from colder/higher pressure areas.
    Gulfstreams, currents and any wind on earth follows pressure and temperature (but varies/is influenced with topography and other physical geography variables).

    What did I just watch? Some kid spreading random crap he read online?
    "The Gulf Stream is not responsible for the increased warmth of Europe, it's actually due to the warming of the ocean!"
    Said another way he said "It's not oceanic heating, it's oceanic heating!"
    It is entirely possible I'm wrong here. Maybe the kid is right. However you have to actually make a reasonable argument for something before saying "therefore everything you've been taught is wrong"
    Also, where do you think all the heat from the Gulf Stream went to cause it to drop in temperature and increase in density to cause it to flow down into the deep ocean?
    It dumps the heat into the surrounding waters through conductive heating while the evaporation mentioned causes it to dump heat into the atmosphere through convective heating.
    This means that all that heating you are talking about can be attributed to the heat from the Gulf Stream. Energy cannot be created or destroyed, it only moves and changes forms. If you loose energy in one place it should be understood that it should be looked for in either another place for in another form
    Again, maybe I'm wrong about the extent to which the Gulf Stream contributes to heating, but if you want to change anyone's mind about something there should be a good argument and preferably multiple peer reviewed papers cited from various sources to show that the idea is taken seriously by the people who spend their lives studying this kind of thing
