The Gulf Stream system of warm ocean currents could collapse as early as 2025, a scientific study has warned.
The end of the system, which drives the Atlantic's currents and determines western Europe's weather, would likely lead to lower temperatures and catastrophic climate impacts.
But leading scientists have reservations about the study and say it is not established science.
It is far from certain the system will shut down this century, they say.

Will the Gulf Stream really collapse by 2025?
A new paper says its collapse could be imminent, but some experts argue science is not established.
