No, CNN and Other Media Outlets, Climate Change Is Not Causing the Ocean Circulation to Collapse

…the supposed AMOC tipping point will not occur until 1758 years from now, in the year 3782 AD

AMOC To Collapse Scam Is Back

All these changes were the result of natural processes. There is no evidence that these will change in future.

Scientists: Nearly 4 Decades of Climate Model Failure Undermines Confidence In Future Predictions

“[I]f these models cannot reproduce past variations, why should we be so confident about their ability to predict the future?”

Again A Fuss About The AMOC. Reality: Future Scenarios Border On Adventurous Speculation

ANY estimate of the timing of a “tipping point” must take the uncertainties into account, which are so substantial that they are all unsound when made.

AMOC: A Non-Tipping point

Data collected directly in the Atlantic Ocean thus do not provide any support for the IPCC’s forecasts of an ongoing collapse of the AMOC.

Are the North Atlantic Currents Strengthening or Weakening?

By contrast, recent empirical studies have challenged the “weakening” hypothesis.

No, the Puffin is not a Bellwether of Climate Change

“There are real red flags — warning signs — right now for these puffins.  They’re the proverbial canary in the coal mines for our oceans.” 

New Findings Show Gulf Stream “Has Strengthened” Over Past Century…”Heat Transport Has Increased 30%”!

A recent flurry of scientific publications refute climate model claims of a weakening Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC).

NEW STUDY: “Part Of North Atlantic Is Cooling”…”Natural Fluctuations Have Been Primary Reason”

All evaluations indicate that since the beginning of the 20th century, natural fluctuations have been the primary reason for this cooling. 

Has Bob Ward Heard Of The AMO?

Yes, the number of major Atlantic hurricanes has increased in the last four decades, but this is because of the AMO, not climate change, as NOAA explain:

Claim: Study pinpoints key causes of ocean circulation change

While AMOC variability off the southern USA is dominated by the impact of winds, variability in the North Atlantic is generated by the combined effects of winds, heat and freshwater…

North Atlantic Nonsense

So the myth of the maritime, equable climate brought to Europe by the Gulf Stream really needs to be seen for what it is – a myth. It is perhaps…

Internal Multidecadal and Interdecadal Climate Oscillations: Absence of Evidence Is No Evidence of Absence

Altogether, I conclude that the paper M20 is not advancing our understanding of the nature of multi- and interdecadal oscillations such as the AMO and PDO.

Study: Atlantic Ocean circulation is not collapsing – but the press release adds climate porn

From the University of Washington – Hannah Hickey where the original headline in the press release says “Atlantic Ocean circulation is not collapsing – but as it shifts gears, global…

North Atlantic Oscillation phases, tree growth, and droughts

From the UNIVERSITY OF THE BASQUE COUNTRY, and the “climate phenomena not related to CO2” department. Droughts and ecosystems are determined by the interaction of two climate phenomena What is causing…

Correlation of Accumulated Cyclone Energy and Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillations

Guest essay by Michel de Rougemont Various sources, scientists publishing their opinion in the media, claim that Tropical Storm Harvey, recently landed in Texas, is one more signal of the…

New data shows 10 year decline in the Atlantic Conveyor

Laurence Hecht writes: This review in the 19 Jun 2015 issue of Science  reported solid observational evidence (not proxies and modeling à la Rahmstorf and Mann) of a 10-year trend of decline…

The Canary in the Water Column – Atlantic Ocean Heat Content Plummets

Guest essay by David Archibald A few years ago, Professor Humlum, Professor Solheim and myself mounted a meteorological expedition to Svalbard on the island of Spitzbergen, with the attendance of…

James Hansen's latest doomsday paper falls flat on its face, grounds his 'flying boulders'

James Hansen, formerly head of NASA GISS published a new study Tuesday March 22nd in the journal Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, claiming global warming, sea level rise, and severe storms, could be…

Study: There is no real evidence for a diminishing trend of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation

This paper was just published today in the Journal of Ocean Engineering and Science. It seems to be definitive refutation of Mann and Rahmstorf’s claims, and quells the alarm bells that…

Yet another prediction of doom over Greenland ice melt and the AMOC that we can ignore

From the “fresh melt water will disrupt the planet” department, except that this ongoing alarm has already been debunked by NASA, see: NASA refutes Mann and Rahmstorf – Finds Atlantic ‘Conveyor…

New Paper Confirms the Drivers of and Processes behind the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation

Guest Post by Bob Tisdale The new paper by McCarthy et al. (2015) Ocean impact on decadal Atlantic climate variability revealed by sea-level observations has gained some attention around the…

AMO fingered in newly discovered 200 year bipolar disorder lag

From Oregon State University and the department of “we fully understand Earth’s climate, we just need more funds” department comes this bit of a surprise. (h/t to Dr. Leif Svalgaard)…

Oh noes! Fishy modeling study says 'Fish and Chips' to disappear in the UK

I get this daily newsletter from a paid political pot stirrer called “Climate Nexus”, which is actually a Madison Avenue PR firm. They write today of a new paper, Rutterford…
