IMG_2924_palm tree.jpg A palm tree growing in Stromness in the Orkney Isles, Northern Scotland, UK. The Orkney Isles lie on a similar latitude as Bergen in Norway and to southern Alaska, amazing then that palm trees grow. The only reason they do is because of the Gulf Stream which bathes the Orkneys in relatively warm water from further south, making the islands mainly snow and frost free. Climate change is slowing the Gulf Stream, as more fresh water from melting glaciers pours into the north Atlantic.

IMG_3225_hot air balloon.jpg The Abbey gardens on Tresco, one of the Scilly Isles, off South West Cornwall, UK, renowned for its tropical plants which are able to grow due to the Gulf Stream, or North Atlantic Drift. This is a warm ocean current which keeps the island warmer than they would otherwise be for their latitude, and also frost free.  Scientists have already recorded a slowing down of the Gulf Stream caused by climate change. As cold fresh water pours off the arctic ice sheets, it prevents the denser salty water from sinking, which is the start of the conveyor.
