Original: A climate nightmare lurks in the Atlantic. Europe is starting to pay attention.

POLITICO reports growing concern in Europe about a potential slowdown of Atlantic Ocean currents, which could dramatically disrupt the continent's climate and way of life. Scientists have long warned that a weakening of the system that includes the Gulf Stream could bring severe cooling, altered weather patterns and sea-level changes to Europe. European policymakers are now beginning to take the risk more seriously.
