The Evacuation of England: The Twist in the Gulf Stream is a book written by Louis Pope Gratacap and originally published in 1908. The book explores the possibility of a catastrophic event that could cause the Gulf Stream to change its course, leading to a sudden and drastic cooling of the climate in England. Gratacap argues that this could result in a mass evacuation of the population, as the country would become uninhabitable due to the extreme weather conditions.The book is divided into two parts. The first part provides a scientific explanation of the Gulf Stream and its importance to the climate in England. Gratacap discusses the factors that could cause the Gulf Stream to change its course, including volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and meteor impacts. He also examines historical evidence of past climate changes and their impact on human populations.The second part of the book explores the potential consequences of a Gulf Stream shift. Gratacap argues that England would become a frozen wasteland, with temperatures dropping to levels that would make agriculture impossible. He suggests that the only solution would be a mass evacuation of the population, possibly to warmer regions of the world.Overall, The Evacuation of England: The Twist in the Gulf Stream is a thought-provoking book that raises important questions about the potential impact of climate change on human populations. While some of the scientific theories presented in the book may be outdated, its message remains relevant today, as the world continues to grapple with the effects of global warming.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
