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…
NASA refutes Mann and Rahmstorf – Finds Atlantic 'Conveyor Belt' Not Slowing
From the “we told you so yesterday” and the “settled science” department. This study was released in 2010, and they used actual measurements, rather than proxy data and reconstructions like…
Michael Mann and Stefan Rahmstorf claim the Gulf Stream is slowing due to Greenland ice melt, except reality says otherwise
UPDATED – see below From your “Day after Tomorrow” department (where a slowing Gulf Stream turned NYC into an icebox) comes this claim from the bowels of Mannian Science. Unfortunately,…
An Unexpected Admission from Dana Nuccitelli at SkepticalScience
Guest Post by Bob Tisdale In Dana Nuccitelli’s recent post at SkepticalScience Matt Ridley wants to gamble the Earth’s future because he won’t learn from the past, he has finally…
New Study Predicts a Slight Cooling of North Atlantic Sea Surface Temperatures over the Next Decade
Guest Post by Bob Tisdale Pierre Gosselin at NoTrickZone provided an introduction to a recently published paper in his post IPCC Scientist Mojib Latif Sees North Atlantic Cooling Over Next…
Arctic Ice and the AMO
By Paul Homewood David Rose’s piece in the Mail on Sunday has already been picked by WUWT and Bishop Hill, amongst others. But I want to concentrate on one…
