Pint Glass With Ice Refutes Reports of Atlantic Ocean Current Collapse

There was no ambiguity to the title of the juried science journal article: “Warning of a forthcoming collapse of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation.” Any year within this century, ocean currents will completely stop if we continue to emit the same level of greenhouse gasses as we do today. When the movement of the Atlantic Ocean ceases, it will become too cold north of London for trees to grow, and equatorial latitudes, including Florida, will sizzle.

The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is part of the world’s ocean current. It begins in the Greenland Sea north of Iceland, travels around the Atlantic into the Pacific onto the Indian Ocean around the Antarctic continent, and back again to Greenland by way of a counter-clockwise turn around the Arctic Ocean. A bucket of seawater of the right density poured into the Greenland Sea will take about 1,600 years to circulate and surface in the Pacific Ocean.

The Great Ocean Conveyor Belt was first described by Wallace S. Broecker. His discovery came after several decades of tracing the routes and using radioisotopes to date the age of deep waters. Ocean…
