    More divergence between models and reality:

    Global warming has been predicted to slow the Atlantic
    Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), resulting in
    significant regional climate impacts across the North
    Atlantic and beyond. Here, satellite observations of sea
    surface height (SSH) along with temperature, salinity and
    velocity from profiling floats are used to estimate changes
    in the northward?flowing, upper limb of the AMOC at
    latitudes around 41°N. The 2004 through 2006 mean
    overturning is found to be 15.5 ± 2.4 Sv (106 m3/s) with
    somewhat smaller seasonal and interannual variability than
    at lower latitudes. There is no significant trend in
    overturning strength between 2002 and 2009. Altimeter
    data, however, suggest an increase of 2.6 Sv since 1993,
    consistent with North Atlantic warming during this same
    period. Despite significant seasonal to interannual fluctuations,
    these observations demonstrate that substantial slowing of the
    AMOC did not occur during the past 7 years and is unlikely
    to have occurred in the past 2 decades. Citation: Willis,

    How could any climate scientist come up with a hypothesis like this and be called a scientist. Global warming caused the reversal. Where the PROOF!!!!!!!!!

  3. Mike Davis says:

    Reverse logic is at work here. With the dates involved it is obvious that changes in the overturning lead to changes in long term weather patterns.

    it is amazing to watch these bounce around the media

    the stories get more ridiculous with time, and less related the actual paper/press release that started the whole process
