In fact, based on the limited data, the authors have no way of knowing whether the AMOC speeds up and down cyclically on a multidecadal or multi-century basis, or whether a steady state is the norm.

All bad weather is our fault... The post Climate Disaster Study: Gulf Stream Could Collapse as Early as 2025 first appeared on Watts Up With That?.

By contrast, recent empirical studies have challenged the “weakening” hypothesis.

Jim Steele “As scientists who study what controls snowfall admit, “There are “no easy answers” to the question of climate change and snow” Nonetheless click bait media doesnt hesitate to…

12,900 years ago the North Atlantic Current failed, likely due to the emptying of an enormous glacial lake. This catastrophic lake failure is believed to have disrupted ocean currents, which led to an abrupt return to ice...

Yet another 3 recent journal publications show there’s no Atlantic tipping point taking place. 

A recent flurry of scientific publications refute climate model claims of a weakening Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC).

All evaluations indicate that since the beginning of the 20th century, natural fluctuations have been the primary reason for this cooling. 

. Over the course of a few decades in the late 1300s and 1400s, vast amounts of ice were flushed out into the North Atlantic, which not only cooled the North Atlantic waters, but also diluted their saltiness, ultimately causing...

While AMOC variability off the southern USA is dominated by the impact of winds, variability in the North Atlantic is generated by the combined effects of winds, heat and freshwater anomalies...

So the myth of the maritime, equable climate brought to Europe by the Gulf Stream really needs to be seen for what it is – a myth. It is perhaps appropriate to the British Isles and Scandinavia, but certainly not to...

The URI research team noted the importance of finding that the satellite-observed signature of the Gulf Stream's position relative to the Grand Banks precedes subsurface shelf warming by over a year...

Climate model and paleo-oceanographic research suggests that the AMOC may have been declining for decades or even centuries before this; however direct observations are sparse prior to 2004, giving only “snapshots” of...

A key component of the Gulf Stream has markedly slowed over the past century--that's the conclusion of a new research paper in Nature Communications published on August 7.

University of Exeter Arctic sea ice cannot “quickly bounce back” if climate change causes it to melt, new research suggests. A team of scientists led by the University of Exeter used the shells of quahog clams,...
