Is there anything that Liberals driving around in fossil fueled vehicles and/or fossil fueled airplanes to climate change rallies anthropogenic climate change can’t do?
Global Warming Threatens Colder Climate for Europe
Scientists have yet again warned that weakening ocean circulation in the North Atlantic could deliver a climate paradox—a colder Europe as a consequence of global warming.
A study published in Nature Climate Change found that as sea ice off Iceland and Greenland retreats, the flow of cold, dense water to the bottom of the North Atlantic ocean could be reduced, and therefore weaken the warming effects of the Gulf Stream.
The great submarine current—sometimes called the Atlantic Conveyor—flows south to surface in the tropics as the Gulf Stream, which then flows north again to deliver tropic warmth to European coasts.
However, a slowdown in the natural overturning of the ocean could weaken the Gulf Stream, which in turn could cool the atmosphere over the British Isles and western Europe.
Let’s be clear, they’re actually not wrong on what can happen to the ocean circulation patterns, but, this has happened time and time again as part of the natural processes of the Earth. No actual proof that it is mostly/solely being caused by Mankind this time. Furthermore, they’ve been telling us that “climate change” will make the world, including Europe, super duper hot. They need to make up their minds.
Such a possible collapse of a natural oceanic system is predicated as one of the irreversible tipping points that could result in calamitous climate change.
Good grief. More tipping points.
