Gulf Stream continues to weaken and scientists are already testing extreme scenarios to prevent climate collapse in the Northern Hemisphere, including closing the Bering Strait with a 66-kilometer dam.

The Gulf Stream, an oceanic system that transports heat from the tropics to Europe and the east coast of North America, continues to lose strength, and scientists have stopped debating whether the collapse will happen to start calculating how to prevent it. According to information from Xataka, among the most radical proposals under analysis are the closure of the Bering Strait with a dam, the launch of orbital sunshades to cool the Arctic, and the fertilization of the Atlantic Ocean with millions of tons of iron.
