And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two?

That's backwards. The Gulf stream warms the east coast of the US , but this shows the west coast of Europe being warmer. Bangor, Maine is -2F while Bordeaux is 11F? How?
The Gulf stream dumps its heat all the way up to its northernmost reach.
As Bob and Doug McKenzie used to say, "Double it and add 30." So Brest is: 10X2=20 20 +30= 50. So 10 degrees C is 50 degrees F. It's not a perfect conversion but it's easy enough to do in your head.

Research it. There are many visualizations of the various North Atlantic and equatorial currents and their offshoots in the literature.
DeleteWhere the stream mixes with the cold Labrador current, there is fog. Not all the time of coarse, but thats why.
DeleteThe Azores, Eire, UK, and south to Spain enjoy warm water because of the stream.
course
DeleteTemps in C meaningless unless one wants to do a lot of conversions, sigh...
ReplyDeleteWhile I prefer American, celsius doesn't give me any problems. It just takes a bit of practice, not much at all.
