I was incredulous .... but still reading that link .... till I got to this bit... "The Gulf Stream and future climate change A slowdown of the Gulf Stream and ocean circulation in the future, induced by freshening of the waters caused by anthropogenic climate change (via melting glaciers and increased water vapor transport into high latitudes) or simply by warming, would thus introduce a modest cooling tendency. This would leave the temperature contrast across the Atlantic unchanged and not plunge Europe back into the ice age or anything like it. In fact the cooling tendency would probably be overwhelmed by the direct radiatively-driven warming by rising greenhouse gases. when I saw the phrase... "rising greenhouse gases" I stopped. The oceans have a fair amount of latent heat in them, a lot more then the atmosphere, so the contentions made are startling to say the least. I lived on the East Coast of the USA and I currently live in the UK. I would also suggest the UK enjoys a milder climate then the USA East coast and the Gulf Stream has something to do with it. As I said earlier... There is no Climate Science. There is only a drive to find "the evidence" that CO2 is warming the planet. You provided some. I am just looking at the ocean chart... Oh look ! there is a cold current going down the USA East Coast, maybe that is why the Maine and NH winters stuck below zero degrees centigrade for months at a time ? Nah... the models say currents don't do that. The model must be right... I just imagined it all.
