Gulf Stream slowing down?

NOAA's September data just came in, still showing an unusual cold patch of water south of Iceland, which has now been there for about a year.

What about the polar regions?

Yo, can you give us some evidence before October 3, 1970? Then I will take this as fact!!! You can`t control Mother Nature!!!

This has been debunked..

The reason there are huge areas of cold water forming is due to a shift in the circulation, not due to slowing.. We are returning to a cold phase and the oceans just happened to be the first area to swing.

Cold 'Blob' in North Atlantic Ocean May Affect Weather in Europe, Eastern US

However, very chilly to record cold water has developed near Greenland, the NOAA data revealed.

The reason for the cold pocket and less salty water is believed to be due to the melting ice in Greenland discharging fresh water into the nearby North Atlantic.

While the cold, less salty pool near Greenland may be some sort of balancing act in the Earth's complex climate, it could cause the Gulf Stream to weaken. A weakening Gulf Stream could have major impact on the weather and climate.

The Gulf Stream is a strong ocean current that transports warm water northward just off the East Coast of the United States and sends branches of water along western Europe. The Gulf Stream is a part of the Atlantic's circulatory system.

According to According to AccuWeather Chief Meteorologist Elliot Abrams, "If the Gulf Stream and correspondingly other currents in the Atlantic weaken, then it could change long-term temperature patterns all around the Atlantic basin."

No, silly Billy, the melt from Greenland, very cold fresh water, is the reason for the cold water off of Greenland.

Yo-yo, perhaps you can look up when and who first mapped the Gulf Stream. And you might examine what the oceanographers have to say on the subject. Or you can just remain in total ignorance. Your choice.

Moron, It is due to a shift in circulations.. It is a natural shift and due to salinity changes. It happens about every 120 years and is a natural cycle... This shift precedes northern hemisphere cooling by empirical evidence and lasts about 60 years before a warm phase again changes the circulations..

You even failed to read your own article..

Well, Yo-yo, this has what to do with the cold water southeast of Greenland?

Yo, dumb-ass? Did daddy and mommy teach you anything? Mother Nature will do what she wants, and you and Obama can throw all the money you wish at it? There will be one thing accomplished? Waste of BIG BUCKS! You people are the true idiots of the World!!!

Yo, can you see Mother Nature in the Picture? What a DUNCE!

Yo-yo, do you want to address the issue, or are you going to continue to spam this thread? This world is a physical reality where inputs interact and produce outputs. Not some metaphysical construct of a 'Mother Nature'.

The problem with so many of these doomsday reports is that they are based on so little evidence.

Descartes (?) made a big splash in medieval religion by stating that everyone should believe in God and the Church because if it is right you get immense reward and if it is wrong you haven't lost anything. The fallacy is that there are an unlimited amount of religions possible, and the chance of any particular one being right is extremely small.

The same thing is happening in climate science. Everything that happens is being used in a manner that supports CO2 theory no matter how tenuous the relationship. There are a great number of competing explanations for almost anything and the likelihood of CO2 causing it is very small. Especially when contradictory evidence is ignored and equivocal evidence is often like a round peg being hammered into a square hole.

A case in point. The early 20's saw a multi degree warming in the north Atlantic. Instead of explaining it, the records have just been cleansed of the inconvenient data. A theory has to encompass all the data, not just the agreeable data.
