The weakening of the currents is caused by a number of factors that can be linked to global warming due to the greenhouse effect.
The Gulf Stream system is powered by the differences in the density - the density - of the ocean water: as the warm and therefore lighter water travels from the south to the north, it becomes colder and therefore denser and heavier - causing it to sink to the deeper layers of the ocean, and at that great depth flows back to the south.
“But due to global warming, the increased precipitation and also the melting water from the sea ice at the Arctic and from the Greenland ice sheet is diluting the water in the north Atlantic, making the water less salty. Less salt water is less dense and therefore less heavy, making it more difficult for the water to sink from the surface to the depths".
The painting shows the process of the Ocean currents mixed with details of fish and fish skins.
