"there is consensus"

[edit]

The heading of the article claims that there is consensus about the gulf stream and then doesn't provide a single citation for that claim. Claiming consensus feels a bit bold, but doing it without *any* citations seems like a huge mistake. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:647:CD01:F090:79CF:65B7:823A:16D1 (talk) 01:38, 5 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Guardian: Climate crisis, Scientists spot warning signs of Gulf Stream collapse

[edit]

I'm unsure how to include this in the article but seems very important, please can someone check it and include?

Thanks

@John Cummings: Another recent study found that the Gulf Stream may collapse in less than a decade, possibly as early as 2025. Jarble (talk) 19:15, 28 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestion to remove "renewable power generation" section

[edit]

The Gulf Stream's potential for renewable power generation is not significant enough to warrant its own section in this article, at least not at this point in time. The articles cited in this section are academically interesting (primarily the Yang et al. (2013) paper, none of the other references add much beyond this) but there is no significant/large-scale project underway to exploit the Gulf Stream as an energy source. A layperson reading this article may leave with the impression that this is a serious undertaking, when this is not the case. Scleractinian (talk) 14:34, 26 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Result: Delisted on consensus. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 08:55, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This was last reassessed in 2009. Quite a lot of research into this subject with regard to climate change has happened since and I don't think this article has completely kept up with it. There is also a [vague] template which needs to be addressed. PhotographyEdits (talk) 08:46, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delist (but ping me if anyone is willing to work on the article). There are quite a few reverted comments in the article history, which suggests edit-warring has been happening. Article seems likely to be outdated despite sources being added since the review, and there are some uncited statements. I can't tell whether the article needs quick fixes or more of an overhaul, so am leaning towards the latter. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 10:47, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
