The big question for science now is, which way will the graphs go in the future?

In reading this article I got no clear picture as to where the graphs went in the past. As to the future I can only guess where this article is leading. /sarc

Anyone remember RIPLEY'S BELIEVE IT OR NOT where some guy from Nova Scotia died in the south,was buried, the coffin washed out to sea and several years later washed up, in Nova Scotia.

Many people said it could not be done due to the currents yet it was later proven it could have happened by following the gulf stream north, then the deep southernly return flow. (The blue line.)

Just something interesting.

If global warming causes global cooling then the icepack won't be melting and introducing more fresh water into the north atlantic. So it seems like it's a self-correcting mechanism and just another of the endless cycles we have gone through before.

"The Little Ice Age: How Climate Made History, 1300-1850"
by Brian M. Fagan, is worth reading. What's interesting to me is that meteorological record keeping begins during this "little ice age." So as the earth returns to a temperate state over the last 150 years the historical record could falsely indicate "global warming."
