Hello, I'm still pretty new in matters of predictions of any kind that's why I wanted to ask what the situation with climate change is going to be in Europe? I'm from Poland and currently live in Uk for almost the same amount of time I used to live in my motherland and I'm honestly concerned for both of those countries as well the others.
I wonder if anyone had any visions regarding this matter, since most of climate predictions are around USA.
@polka. Welcome to the forum. Thank you for finding us and starting a topic on climate change. When I start looking at climate change, I have to point out that whatever I see for now, changes dramatically by the end of the decade, and even more dramatically in the follow two decades. Some quick off the cuff vibes about Europe.
Europe will be on the vanguard of innovative adaptation to climate change. They will be moving towards adaptive farming -- higher production per square foot of land and more drought and heat adaptive methods.
I also see more innovative climate-adaptive lifestyles in Europe, using plants to cool their homes - plants lining the walls and rooftops and more trees, gardening every available space, everyone having a garden, homes below ground and new methods we don't even know about yet.
A big challenge for Europe is the migrant pressure they will experience from drought and heat-stricken countries around the equator. Whereas today Europe is relatively welcoming to migrants, I see it changing by the end of the decade and by 2040 or 2050, Europeans will be closing their borders, but I'm not sure how they will be able to keep people out.
Anything about Europe getting colder due to the slackening Gulf Stream?
I did a timeline reading of climate change in Europe just now. I saw cold weather in the early 2020's and people dressed for the cold. I saw a white-haired male leader, longish hair, charismatic, (not Boris, this man's hair was not dyed), an Einsteinian feeling to him which I took to mean he is highly intelligent and has that wispy longish wavy white hair but his face was more angular, like Christopher Lloyd's Doc in Back to the Future.
As I moved towards the end of the decade, I did not see anything remarkable about the cold in Europe, except for snow storms in the early twenties. But I wonder if the cooling from the Gulf Stream will temper the global warming in Europe. I have not seen anything like the extreme Arctic freeze they showed in the 2004 film, The Day After Tomorrow.
But near the end of the decade, I saw a mountain range, and a lightening strike, then people in dozens of boat, large and small craft, traveling across the water.
I asked for more information and saw a volcano. It was part of a mountain range between two continents, in a north-south direction snaking eastward. At first I thought it was Central America, but beause I was focused on Europe, it is probably Italy.
I was thinking that any cooling effects in Europe from the slowing Gulf Stream would be outweighed over the long term by the huge global array of warming positive feedback loops. I'm not going to pretend to know what the mountain range vision is about.
@coyote yes, well, it seems that this first attempt at reading Europe in the 2020's showed that global warming in Europe will likely, as you thought - be tempered by Gulf Stream cooling. It will be interesting to see what other visions of Europe appear as we have more RTF nights.
As for the volcano vision, it unexpectedly appeared, without much explanation, and I don't like to squander a vision.

@jeanne-mayell You just described the Ural mountains which separate Europe from Asia...

@frank Thank you, dear frank, for jumping in! I love when you pop in. :-). Did you have some thoughts about the Ural Mountains?
My vision also might fit the mountains of Italy descending southward into the Mediterranean towards Africa, and would explain all the boats. This ambiguity happens a lot when we do inner visioning. It's a long way off so I am hoping we will get more specific visions in the coming years.

Thanks Jeanne! ❤️ When I read volcano, Italy immediately popped into my head, but when I read "between two continents" I thought Ural mountains since they are the dividing line between the two continents of Europe and Asia. I think this came more from my analytical side then my intuition, though. And like you said it doesn't fit with the boats...

The Urals have no active volcanoes. But Italy does (e.g., Vesuvius and Etna). There are also some volcanic islands in the Aegean Sea (e.g., Santorini), and a few in the Asian part of Turkey.
Turkey and Russia are two countries on the divide between Europe and Asia. Turkey has had earthquakes etc. as well. I concur with Frank that the Ural region is the most likely candidate if you're looking for mountains, but there is a lot more mountainous terrain south of there. Keep in mind that are also large bodies of water there, most notable the Black Sea and, more on the Europe/Asia line, the Caspian sea.
Every time I think of Russia though, it has me sit up straight. Something is going on there. *Not* in the usual 'red mirage' effect that has been part of society for so long. Perhaps there is a link here as well: I feel Russia is going to become very important in the next decade.
Also, Italy's volcanism is a result of the leading edge of the African Plate diving under the Eurasian Plate. So the Italian mountains are also between 2 continents in a geologic sense. I concur with Jeanne, though. I think we'll have to wait some for this vision to become less ambiguous.
@jeanne-mayell I recall you predicted the changes in the Gulf Stream a few years back. I just saw this tweet today with a link to the latest paper regarding the unprecedented slowdown of the Gulf Stream. https://twitter.com/rahmstorf/status/1364976597250568194?s=21
@vagabeau Thank you for posting the article. I saw it in the news and read it. They have been unable to measure the slow-down directly so they use proxy measures. I am certain they are correct. This is concerning because the AMOC (which is the Atlantic Meridien Ocean Circulation) is the heart pump of the earth, just like our own hearts. This is one of those predictions that I knew would continue to come true and that I would love to be wrong about, but I know it is happening.
I have a Canadian cousin I used to see in the summers. He's a kind man who had a yacht and knows the oceans, but a Fox-news watching conservative. Back in 2010 over dinner I told him about the slow down of the Gulf Stream and he just stared at me in disbelief.
If you just watch FOX, then it's like you are in North Korea and have no understanding of what is going on in the world.
@jeanne-mayell I am from Holland. I am feeling that we have to adapt big time to weather extremes. And to observe how plants react, nature. Nature, the Earth, holds answers and invites us to (re) connect.
@tjomme. Thank you for posting your thoughts and welcome to our forum. I have great respect for the gentle and astute people of Holland. I agree with you and hope you will help us become more aware of what you are observing there and in the world.
@jeanne-mayell thank you. The way I see and approach predictions is as 'possible and potentional outcomes' and can help to gain awerness.
How do you approach this?
@tjomme I approach predictions as possible, rather than certain, futures.
But I do not use logic or base it on what has been happening in the news. I meditate, I feel what is in my body, or get visions in my mind's eye or use cards. I use a tuning inward technique.
So while I agree that I'm seeing what is possible or is the potential rather than what is definitely going to happen, I feel it is important to clear the mind and use techniques so I'm not just expressing my opinion based on what has been happening in the news.
