“what I would like to do this evening is give the Members some ideas of a phenomenon that is occurring in the oceans that is clearly observed by the scientific community that is having an effect on the Earth's climate. Ocean currents that flow throughout the entire world stabilize the heat balance on the planet so that the northern hemisphere does not get frigidly cold and many people that live in the southern hemisphere are not forced to move because of the increased heat. To give some example of this, if you look in this area of Canada, you know that it is quite cold there. But if you go right across the Atlantic Ocean and visit England, you will know that the weather is quite moderate. In fact, the weather in England is often and most often is much more moderate than much further in latitude to the south and mid-Atlantic part of the United States. If you look at the Scandinavian countries and their latitude, in Labrador you will see that their climate is more moderate than the climate we see on that latitude in North America. The reason for this is the ocean has currents that take warm from the equatorial regions to the northern regions that moderate their temperature.”
