This is what I am after...even if only an Abstract:

Can in situ floats and satellite altimeters detect long-term changes in Atlantic Ocean overturning?

Global warming has been predicted to slow the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), resulting in significant regional climate impacts across the North Atlantic and beyond. Here, satellite observations of sea surface height (SSH) along with temperature, salinity and velocity from profiling floats are used to estimate changes in the northward-flowing, upper limb of the AMOC at latitudes around 41°N. The 2004 through 2006 mean overturning is found to be 15.5 ± 2.4 Sv (10⁶ m³/s) with somewhat smaller seasonal and interannual variability than at lower latitudes. There is no significant trend in overturning strength between 2002 and 2009. Altimeter data, however, suggest an increase of 2.6 Sv since 1993, consistent with North Atlantic warming during this same period. Despite significant seasonal to interannual fluctuations, these observations demonstrate that substantial slowing of the AMOC did not occur during the past 7 years and is unlikely to have occurred in the past 2 decades.

To the best of my knowledge, no one has yet predicted that global warming will halt Earth's rotation.

Or that the sun will no longer heat tropical areas to a greater extent than polar ones. Or that warm water will suddenly become denser than cold water.

Here's an idea..... during conversation, or even online, every time someone says “global warming” immediately LOL. and keep it up as if they just said the most ridiculous thing in the world, (shouldn't be hard to do). We need to kill this hoax once & for all.

Can we say that this was “unexpected”?

Wow. Your posts

• Ocean Conveyor Belt Confounds Climate Science

• Atlantic 'Conveyor Belt' Not Slowing, NASA Study Finds

• NZ research shows Pacific islands not shrinking

• South Pacific sea levels – Best records show little or no rise?!

...constitute a pretty extensive smackdown of a key AGW hypothesis.

Thanks for keeping us up to speed!

Reading list ping.

Trying to nail the coffin shut... of the AGW crowd.

Apologize for the multiple pings if you received them...

One phenomenon is certain...... warm water will always flow to displace cold water. The heat transfer will drag the water along as the heat where it is warm seeks to move to where it is cold.
