The Day After Tomorrow Might Kinda, Sorta Come True and What’s going on in the North Atlantic?

The Day After Tomorrow Might Kinda, Sorta Come True 

Published in: Future Tense THE CITIZEN'S GUIDE TO THE FUTURE By Eric Holthaus MARCH 23 2015

“In the 2004 blockbuster The Day After Tomorrow, abrupt climate change plunges the world into chaos. According to new research published Monday, the idea that underpins the film’s plot—that rapid Arctic ice melt could cause dramatic changes to the global climate system—just got one step closer to reality.”

“Of particular concern are the profound changes happening in the Greenland ice sheet: It appears that the massive amount of freshwater from melting Greenland glaciers has now begun to slow the ocean’s circulating currents.”

What’s going on in the North Atlantic?

Filed under: Climate Science — stefan @ 23 March 2015

"The North Atlantic between Newfoundland and Ireland is practically the only region of the world that has defied global warming and even cooled. Last winter there even was the coldest on record – while globally it was the hottest on record. Our recent study (Rahmstorf et al. 2015) attributes this to a weakening of the Gulf Stream System, which is apparently unique in the last thousand years."
