Armenian synopticians gave no predictions as to the severity of winter in Armenia.

The head of meteorological forecasts department of the Hydro-Meteorological Center (Armhydromet) Gagik Surenyan ventured no comments on recent reports that Europe is expected to have the worst winter in the last 1000 years.

European meteorologists believe this winter will be the coldest in the last 1000 years.

All this because the change of oceanic current Gulfstream, that keeps a climatic equilibrum on Earth. Soon, the hot waters transported by Gulf Stream won’t fight the cold air from the Arctic Ocean. The first signs of the phenomena can already be seen in the Scandinavian Peninsula, the specialists say.

Gulf Stream or Gulf’s Current works as a ‘radiator’ for the north part of Europe, and his disappearance or even a slight diminish can have as a consequence a new Ice Age.

Such a catastrophe might be hurried by the explosion of the petrol platform from Gulf of Mexico, just the place were Gulf Stream is formed. The situation can change dramatically. A part of the petrol passed from Caribbean Sea into the Atlantic Ocean, reducing the speed of Gulf stream, that transports less warm water, EWorldPost reported.
