India's Heatwave Danger Underestimated; Gulf Stream Slowdown Could Chill Europe
• India's heatwave criteria do not consider humidity, leading to an underestimation of heat danger.
• Deadly wet-bulb temperatures, where perspiration does not evaporate, are occurring more frequently.
• Potential slowdown or collapse of the Gulf Stream could plunge Northern Europe into a colder climate.
• The Gulf Stream moves huge amounts of heat from the tropics to Northern Europe and back again.
• Scientists warn the Gulf Stream could begin slowing dramatically or stopping as early as 2025.
