Atlantic Ocean circulation is weakest in at least 1,600 years ( 2/26/21 ) .
- Thread starter odie
- Start date
. Hold on to your hats , literally .The earthās climate is made up of a huge number of interconnected and interdependent hydrodynamic and thermodynamic systems which by their nature are ever changing. Itās when things stop changing that Iāll start to worry.
P.S. Iām not saying letās all go be ***** and cut off our catalytic converters, roll-coal, and dump our used oil in the storm drain or anything but I just donāt buy into all this alarmist reporting.

Didn't realize people back in 421 had the technology to monitor Atlantic Ocean circulation.
Got a link to some actual information besides this sensational thread title? A source, perhaps?
I agree! In 4th grade we learned about the ice age and Pangea. Our world was changing and will continue to change with or without us. And often at different rates.
My house in the desert was once under the Sea! I have petrified tree stumps on my property as well as sea shell fossils in rocks.
Agenda driven "science" is highly problematic.

Slow-Motion Ocean: Atlantic's Circulation Is Weakest in 1,600 Years
If hemisphere-spanning currents are slowing, greater flooding and extreme weather could be at hand
It was just reposted as 'new' by CBS:
Atlantic Ocean circulation is the weakest in at least 1,600 years, study finds ā here's what that means for the climate
New study finds evidence of an unprecedented slowdown in North Atlantic Ocean circulation, likely to due to human-caused climate change.

I wonder how they measured circulation 1600 years ago?
With a cordless ciculation meter! Duh!
might drop back into the ocean any day too!

Any mathematical model used for simulation can be tainted by ideological and personal biases.
The word "Suggest" is often used in scientific papers to inject presuppositions (assumptions and conjectures) that have nothing to do with the actual science.
"...Until a little more than 10 years ago scientists did not have any direct measurements of the AMOC to see how it was actually responding...."
So there is no real historical data to put into any of the simulation models to make any real predictions.

Every time we have a big cold snap, the "unbiased news media" trots out some articles to counter act peoples natural reaction of, "Brr!! It's so cold!

In third grade (1992-3 for me), our āWeekly Readerā said that we would have to live in underground cities by the year 1999 because the atmosphere would no longer be able to support life on the surface.
The date has been pushed couple times. This time is for real...be part of the solution...get yourself an EV!
When there is none we make it up and email it to each other and when someone hacks the emails and we get caught in these shenanigans we claim it was for the greater good and the world gives us a pass. This has really happened.

I have that movie at home does that count? LOL.
Thanks for posting the Scientific American article. It was an interesting read about how ocean currents work and it answers a lot of the questions about how the study was conducted. The point I took home is that things do change, and people living on the Atlantic coastline should be on notice if the study's conclusions are correct.This 3-year-old article is likely the source:

The CBS story links to a 2021 article by the same authors as this 2018 study, which I think might be the one summarized earlier by Scientific American: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41561-021-00699-z
