December 1, 2005 Scientists Say Slower Atlantic Currents Could Mean a Colder Europe By ANDREW C. REVKIN
Scientists say they have measured a significant slowing in the Atlantic currents that carry warm water toward Northern Europe. If the trend persists, they say, the weather there could cool considerably in coming decades.
Some climate experts have said the potential cooling of Europe was paradoxically consistent with global warming caused by the accumulation of heat-trapping "greenhouse" emissions. But several experts said it was premature to conclude that the new measurements, to be described today in the journal Nature, meant that such a change was already under way.
The currents, branching off from the Gulf Stream, are part of an oceanic system that disperses tropical heat toward the poles and makes Northern Europe far warmer than its labreastude would suggest.
I guess those who will freeze to rest this winter (in the Northern hemisphere) can thank those who have opposed Kyoto Protocol. Now I see why people call "some Americans" liquidateers and persons. I though it was just Iraq that these idiots are screwing up. They are killing us all!
