The current, called the North Icelandic Jet (NIJ), contributes to a key component of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), also known as the “great ocean conveyor belt,” which is critically important for regulating Earth’s climate”

Is it originating from Kennebunkport?

I had a hunch those Icelanders were up to something! First the volcanoes, now this.

"We've identified a new paradigm," he said. "We're hypothesizing a new, overturning loop" of warm water to cold.

Translation: "We're making sh!t up."

MONEY QUOTE: Climate specialists have been concerned that the conveyor belt is slowing down due to a rise in global temperatures. They suggest that increasing amounts of fresh water from melting ice and other warming-related phenomena are making their way into the northern North Atlantic, where it could freeze, which would prevent the water from sinking and decrease the need for the loop to deliver as much warm water as it does now. Eventually, this could lead to a colder climate in the northern hemisphere.
