Ben Franklin and The Gulf Stream.

The Gulf Stream was first mapped by none other than Benjamin Franklin.

Founding father and inventor

· Benjamin Franklin was born in Boston in 1706, the son of a chandler and the 15th of 17 children

· First apprenticed at 12 as a printer to his brother James, he established a successful printing house, founding Poor Richard's Almanac, celebrated for its aphorisms

· He was elected to the colonial assembly, but his invention of the Franklin stove led him to turn to researching electricity in 1746

· His work established the distinction between positive and negative electricity, and showed that lightning and electricity are the same. He was among the first to advocate lightning conductors

· He is credited with discovering the path of storms across North America, the direction of the Gulf Stream and the properties of colours in absorbing light

· In 1764 he was sent to England to dispute the right of parliament to tax America without representation. In 1775 he was a founding father who helped draft the Declaration of Independence

· In signing the declaration he warned colleagues: "We must indeed all hang together, or most assuredly we shall surely all hang separately."

· He negotiated the French arms and money which enabled the colonists to win the war of independence. Franklin also negotiated the treaty which ended it
· He retired from public life in 1788 but in 1790, the year of his death, invented bifocal spectacles.

The warming at the poles would melt the ice of freshwater, which reduces the salinity of the water and thus reduce the density as well. So, the water wouldn't sink once the warm water reach the poles.
