The issue centers around the paradox that global warming could instigate a new Little Ice Age in the northern hemisphere. Evidence for abrupt climate change is readily apparent in ice cores taken from Greenland and Antarctica.
The North Atlantic Current (NAC), also known as North Atlantic Drift and North Atlantic Sea Movement, is a powerful warm western boundary current within the Atlantic Ocean that extends the Gulf Stream northeastward.
In the 13th century, pack ice began advancing southwards in the North Atlantic, as did glaciers in Greenland. Anecdotal evidence suggests expanding glaciers almost worldwide.
19 wrz 2022 · In the 2004 blockbuster “The Day After Tomorrow,” the Northern Hemisphere experiences an abrupt and catastrophic plunge into Ice Age conditions. The culprit? Extreme rates of melting ice from the poles cause a massive disruption in the ocean currents that distribute heat around the planet.
15 gru 2021 · Here, we show that the LIA was preceded by an exceptional intrusion of warm Atlantic water into the Nordic Seas in the late 1300s. The intrusion was a consequence of persistent atmospheric blocking over the North Atlantic, linked to unusually high solar activity.
25 sie 2022 · Using statistical indicators of resilience in three annually-resolved bivalve proxy records from the North Icelandic shelf, we show that the subpolar North Atlantic climate system...
26 mar 2020 · The Atlantic Ocean's "conveyor belt," a powerful current that drags warm water north before submerging it in the North Atlantic, has been humankind's constant companion. For 8000 years, it has held steady, nourishing Western Europe with tropical warmth.
