Dear Marlette DiChristina,
This
is why I read your magazine. I just got finished reading an article by Stephen
C. Riser and M. Susan Lozier entitled “Rethinking the Gulf Coast”
in your February 2013 edition of Scientific American. I really enjoy getting
the inside scoop on scientific news, getting informed on not only the future,
but debunking current misconceptions and previously held beliefs on global
issues.
This article states that the previously held notion that Gulf Stream’s
warm tropical waters keep European winters mild has been disproven by three
studies, all of which do not agree with one another. One shows a large
direction of prevailing winds, and another focuses on heat lost from the ocean.
Ice caps melting would not shut down the Gulf Stream,
another misconception pointed out by this article. I really enjoy the insight,
and providing me with facts that not many people get to
read about.
The variety in your magazine is also truly stunning, and I am able
to acquire so much information from so many different fields of science. What
you are doing with your magazine is great, and I am glad I am a subscriber.
