100 Amazon Rivers is a lot of river. There's the St Lawrence, and some others off Canada, there must be some melting off Greenland, then there's Iceland and the fresh water coming off the melting polar cap. That's about it! Barely enough to dilute a couple of Amazon's let alone 100. The St Lawrence has been going as it is for 1000s of years, with not so much during winter. Greenland's ice cap is presumably melting, albeit only during summer. Iceland can't have more than a few creeks. Where is the fresh water supposed to be coming from in such vast quantities? It must be the floating polar cap being melted by the water flowing up from the south. Not long to go now and there won't be any polar cap [in summer anyway] if the claimed thinning is as fast as they say. The north-west passage will be easy to find. Once the polar fresh water has melted, then the Gulf Stream should accelerate again [if the worriers are right about fresh water slowing it down] and Europe will become seriously warm from a high speed Gulf Stream [or at least less cold].
