Mysterious ‘cold blob’ in Atlantic is a sign of weakening ocean currents — and could lead to cooler climates in our future: scientists
NY Post ^ | June 16, 2026 | Ben Cost

While climatologists fear skyrocketing temperatures, scientists are now warning that a “cold blob” in the Atlantic could trigger a global cooling event, among other apocalyptic scenarios, per an alarming study in Geophysical Research Letters.

Located South of Greenland and Iceland, this anomalous patch of ocean has seen temps dip by 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit since the 19th Century, Science News reported.

Coincidentally, this comes as the United Nations’ influential climate change committee has discarded dire temperature increase models spouted by doomsdayers on the Left.

If you call your Spouse a ‘Cold Blob’, in some states, that would be grounds for divorce, whether it’s true or not.

Well, all of the water around it is fire-poker red so they will ultimately equilibrate. Le Chatelier’s principle.

I know! We can counter this global cooling trend by pumping more carbon into the atmosphere! We have the cure! LOL

The report follows the well-known rule for journalists reporting on the weather—anything that happens is automatically assumed to be due to human misconduct until proven otherwise.

“”””a “cold blob” in the Atlantic could trigger a global cooling event,”””


We better act quickly and get the old US Steel plants in Pittsburgh up and running so the plants can once again belch smoke into the atmosphere and keep us warm. (sarc)

A cold blob in the Atlantic, El Niño in the Pacific- I think they’re flipping coins in a back room somewhere…

Nobody came up with a name for the “eggs are good/eggs are bad” cycles. That is unfair.

We need a carbon tax on wealthy Americans to fight this blob.

Thank God. Now, with ‘Climate Change’ no longer a threat, we can proceed with the rapid construction of massive, power hungry ‘Data Centers’ all over the place. What a tremendous relief this is.

Oh yes they do! The interface between the atmosphere and the oceans are places where huge poorly understood interchanges of energy (warmth\cold) occur. Oceans act as sinks and sources of stored energy. The currents move it around. The energy primarily comes from the sun but the earth’s dynamic geology contributes. Volcanoes can change climate spectacularly for awhile until the larger physical trends sort it out. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volcanic_winter_of_536) It’s far far more complex to discuss in one reply that’s why the whole global warming scam based on computer models is so laughable!

I’m in Oklahoma. Cooler is better. BTW, what happened to global warming/end of mankind devotees?
