http://128.128.76.85/page.do?pid=12455 The Woods Hole people said there might be an ice age in western Europe because of fresh water melting into the gulf stream. This is also covered in Inconvinient Truth but not alot of emphasis is placed on it. Superficial layers of the Gulf stream are salty and warm as they move north toward Greenland. As the water approaches Greenland, the water cools and heat is lost to evaporation. This heat is transferred along the jet stream to warm western Europe. The remaining water sinks deep into the lower layers of the ocean because of its heavy salt content at 5 billion gallons/second, driving the global ocean conveyor belt. If Greenland melts and the fresh water reaches the ocean current, it will dilute the salty water. If it gets diluted enough, the water will stop diving down (ie no longer salty) and the conveyor belt will stop. If it stops, there will no longer be heat in the northern gulf stream and western Europe will move into an ice age. The emissions are causing global 'warming' and the potential threat of fresh water melt into the ocean which may have the secondary effect of an ice age. The Woods Hole people are in Greenland now studying if the fresh water is staying contained on land (possibly moving under the ice sheets) or if any has really reached the ocean yet. I will read the rules and try to understand. Yes I was shouting. I'm glad you don't agree with all the article said. Sorry.
