Gargantuan sluice gate in Gulf Stream to warm Europe, lower nat gas need06-04-2022 20:16
CurtJonas ☆☆☆☆☆ (5)	The Gulf Stream has some effect on warming Europe. Apparently, it's minor but it DOES do a lot to warm the west coast of Norway. Somewhere off the West coast of Ireland the Gulf Stream splits into 2 streams where the northern stream does that warming bit on Norway and the southern stream has only a mild effect on western Europe. What if, using off the shelf tech, humanity could build a massive sluice gate (design below) in the middle of that fork and guide more of the Gulf Stream to the southern branch and warm up Europe. Only a half a degree or so in the winter could cut nat gas and coal usage considerably. Crazy right? And probable unforseen environmental impacts would make it politically tough. But if it could work, we'd get less fossil fuel use in the winter (thus less Putin), less greenhouse gas and maybe cool off Norway and part of the Artic a bit. Then the "gate" could be disabled for summer to reduce the negative environmental effects. "Sluice gate" design: Put 15 or 20 enormous VLCC ships end to end (about 5 miles worth), suspend prefabbed concrete or steel walls down to near the ocean bottom and use cable and drill rig anchoring systems to "pull" the "gate" into position.

Why do you hate Norwegians? They are basically frozen much of the year. Why deny them what little 'warming' nature provides. Nature is a balancing-act, seeks equilibrium. It's very dynamic, always in motion. The scale gets tipped on one side, or the other, constantly. You will never get what you want, nature doesn't care about humans. It's a big planet, more important things to do. Kind of like Europeans don't care about Norwegians, only on a global scale...

CurtJonas wrote: (but some bright ME out there may agree with me that it's at least worth the study, my guess is that the ships would NOT sink ... they're meant to hold 300,000 TONs of oil, No. They hold about 9000 tons of oil, and ONLY if the weight is distributed evenly. CurtJonas wrote: so why not a deep steel wall?) : A single plate of steel section like that weighs approx. 58,000 tons. That weight would NOT be distributed evenly. Also, no cable or winch could handle the weight, and no attachment method of such would hold in the steel against such weight. The effect would be to pull the ship right over and capsize it, thus sinking it. Further, there is no anchor. The wall has nothing to hold it in place against the pressure of ANY current. A mid-ocean dam would not stop any current anyway. It would just go around the dam. The Gulf Stream doesn't go anywhere near Norway or Europe.

Wouldn't the gate have to go from the bottom of the ocean to the top to make any difference? It actually wouldn't make any difference anyway. Imagine, if you will, if you just plopped Hoover dam just off the coast of L.A. to prevent water from getting to the beach. What would happen? The water just goes around the dam and reaches the beach anyway. The reason Hoover dam can hold back water at all is because of the solid rock on either side that the dam is anchored into. That rock is what keeps the river on it's course and is what keeps Lake Mead where it is. But in the open ocean, there is no such rock. With nothing to stop the water, it just flows around the dam. It's no more than a large stone in the river. The average depth of the ocean is about 2.5 miles down. A steel plate 100 ft across and reaching that depth and 1 inch thick would weigh 58,000 tons. No cable or winch can handle that kind of weight. Further, any cable attachment to such a piece would simply tear through the metal like thin aluminum foil under that kind of weight. To give you an idea of that, imagine suspending an entire pallet of aluminum foil by using a string tied through a single sheet in one of the boxes. All this to stop a current that doesn't even exist in that location. Curt is not thinking clearly.

You should talk to a polar bear. Any one will do. They all know that the sea ice returns every year around the same time. . While a nice attempt, remember that it is not possible to measure the temperature of Norway. Polar bears, like any bear, hibernate through the winter (when the polar ice is solid). They wake up in spring (hungry as bears!) and swim out among the ice floes for their food (seals and such lounging on the ice floes, now rather trapped from getting away quickly). Mothers with cubs can't go out there like that, so hunt along the shore. Often, polar bears will just wander into town and forage in the garbage. In Anchorage, AK, at the Sheraton hotel, you will find a stuffed polar bear in the lobby. He's there because he walked into the hotel, and the clerk shot him...with a pistol no less! (it was a .45) The Dept of Natural Resources flies a plane around each year to make a count of polar bears. The population is increasing. Some seem to be coming in from Canada, as polar bears will wander along the shore following their food (fish, seals, etc). The only polar bears in Norway are at the northern end of the island of Spitsbergen, about 400 miles from the north coast of the mainland of Norway. That's about 80 deg N latitude (just 10 deg from the north pole). The Parrot Killer Debunked in my sig. - tmiddles Google keeps track of paranoid talk and i'm not on their list.

I can't say for sure as I don't know enough about the Gulf Stream and its depth. I HAVE seen where it averages about 3200 feet in depth. So yeah, it's deep and a "wall" would weigh a lot but maybe not like another responder here suggests as it could be partly concrete or have bouyant material attached. My sense is that it's possible but might cause too much disruption to the ecosystem etc. for too little gain in heat for Europe. (But it should be quick to reverse in those cases ... not meant to be a permanent fixture).
