The latest satellite data establishes that the North Atlantic Current (also called the North Atlantic Drift) no longer exists and along with it the Norway Current. These two warm water currents are actually part of the same system that has several names depending on where in the Atlantic Ocean it is. The entire system is a key part of the planet's heat regulatory system; it is what keeps Ireland and the United Kingdom mostly ice free and the Scandinavia countries from being too cold; it is what keeps the entire world from another Ice Age. This Thermohaline Circulation System is now dead in places and dying in others.

This 'river' of warm water that moves through the Atlantic Ocean is called, in various places, the South Atlantic Current, the North Brazil Current, the Caribbean Current, the Yucatan Current, the Loop Current, the Florida Current, the Gulf Stream, the North Atlantic Current (or North Atlantic Drift) and the Norway Current.

The entire 'river of warm water' that flows from the Caribbean to the edges of Western Europe is dying due to the Corexit that the Obama Administration allowed BP to use to hide the scale of the BP Deepwater Horizon Oil Disaster. The approximately two million gallons of Corexit, plus several million gallons of other dispersants, have caused the over two hundred million gallons of crude oil, that has gushed for months from the BP wellhead and nearby sites, to mostly sink to the bottom of the ocean. This has helped to effectively hide much of the oil, with the hopes that BP can seriously reduce the mandated federal fines from the oil disaster. However, there is no current way to effectively 'clean up' the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico, which is about half covered in crude oil. Additionally, the oil has flowed up the East Coast of America and into the North Atlantic Ocean, and there is no way to effectively clean up this 'sea bottom oil'. It is likely, based on numerous reports, that the oil is still flowing in massive amounts from multiple places on the seabed floor. This effectively means, that even if we had the technology in place to somehow clean up the free flowing thick crude oil deep in the ocean, it would likely not be enough to reverse the damage to the Thermohaline Circulation System in the Atlantic Ocean.

I did a search on this, and it looks like it is true... nasa even confirms it... better get out the coats, looks like another ice age...

Scientists warned of this possibility years ago, pled with the governments of the world to make sure it didn't happen. If the Gulf Stream stops flowing, it's curtains for much of the world, the US included.

i guess bp and obama want a mile thick sheet of ice over the globe...

to bad for future generations...

Lets keep on drilling for oil and this can happen again and again and again...

I know. Having nothing to do with Obama at all.

He was president when it happened and you cannot deny that. He took vacations to play golf while it was happening and before he ever went down there, that you cannot deny either. This guy is a wimp just like Jimmy Carter and allowed BP to run amuck on U.S. soil and did nothing to take charge of the situation. Barack Hussein Obama= Epic Fail.

Not

Oh Ok!

The current slowed almost to a stop, then restarted in '09. Did it stop again? That would be big news?

mankind has survived ice ages before...

If this plays the way the article states...

We will survive.

I blame the caveman for the ice age.. If they had not figured out a way to start fires then the whole world would be ice free..

i asked this before and you never answered... do you watch the news?
who told BP to spray that crap on the oil? Who is still trying to hide these facts? Who is doing NOTHING about it now? Who did not implement any procedures to maintain oil rigs near our coasts? (and still hasn't)


answer to all the above? Barry

I guess even the wrong person to blame is better than nooone, right?

I want to thank OBAMA for my life, for the swift action

(Im assuming like is so popular an activity here)


he authorized to protect our cruise ship out in the international waters,,,,

Obama is not at fault for anything that came from the oil spill.

BP is at fault there.

that cruise ship won't matter if we under a mile thick sheet of ice

any idea if that will happen before or after people die off from starvation or lack of medical care in this country, or war takes over to keep the haves from becoming more equal to the have nots,,lol

one of many scenarios that are being played out right now... which one wins...
