  • Climate Change - complications forecast for the World.

    An interesting study which has identified a likely instability in
    Atlantic Ocean currents. Currently Atlantic current send warm water up
    he coast of the US and through to England and Norway; changes to that
    current could have dramatic effects on those parts of the world.

    I have not seen similar changes predicted for the Pacific, but there
    would be some effect. Either way, such dramatic climate changes would
    affect the world significantly for the worse.

    I read recently that there are two bulbs of magma one of which is heating up greenland and making the ice melt. The other one is under Iceland and
    causing present distruption.

    The Amoc and the possibility of it switching off was raised 50 years ago.

    If Amoc switches off it will create climate change. The warming via climate change will not cause the Amoc to switch off. A great chunck of ongoing heat will upset Amoc balance and then it will cool down.
