Any idea?
In other news: www.newscientist.com: Part of the Atlantic is cooling at record speed and nobody knows why
"After over a year of record-high global sea temperatures, the equatorial Atlantic is cooling off more quickly than ever recorded, which could impact weather around the world"
Beaufort Gyre, anyone. Northern Europe would be a clean slate. They could build nuclear-heated geodesic domes over the cathedrals. |
1) It was a 'dusting' of snow, above 8,000-feet.
2) Global warming IS 'non-linear', going back to Al Gore's 'Inconvenient Truth' and beyond. And why the field scientists are astounded at what they're witnessing.
3) The Atlantic is a little cooler right now because of weeks of Saharan dust coming off the west coast of Africa, suppressing tropical storm development.
4) The 'global' ocean 'HEAT CONTENT' is at an all-time record high. An isolated region of 'cooling' would have to affect the 'overall', in order to alter the trajectory.
5) The 'Gulf Stream' thermohaline cycle has 'slowed' by 30% so far, which 'WOULD' reduce the amount of 'heat' being transported north to the Equator. Perhaps this is what they're talking about.
