Cold 'Blob' in North Atlantic Ocean May Affect Weather in Europe, Eastern US
AccuWeather via MSN ^ | 10/11/15 | Alex Sosnowski

A "blob" of abnormally cold water in the North Atlantic, located near Greenland, has the potential to put enough drag on the ocean current to impact weather conditions in the years to come.

According to data compiled by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), sea surface water temperatures over much of the Atlantic were warmer than average spanning January to August 2015. Waters from the northwestern Caribbean to the central part of the ocean were not only very warm but were record warm.

However, very chilly to record cold water has developed near Greenland, the NOAA data revealed.

The reason for the cold pocket and less salty water is believed to be due to the melting ice in Greenland discharging fresh water into the nearby North Atlantic.

NOAA is now a political organization, it is no longer a science organization. Believe nothing NOAA says.

As you can see the seasonal melt was well below normal except for a brief spike in July. Then the melt again dropped to well below normal.

This is exactly how the GoreBull warmests said the next ice age will start.

Melting glaciers in the North Atlantic lead to a disruption in the Gulf Stream, which leads to a sudden onset Ice Age.

Errr... Wait, I had it figured out just a minute ago....

Joe Bastardi’s Weatherbell is the place to go after being bombarded with Climate Change and AGW hysteria.

It won’t be the first time the “settled: science is proven wrong, but the argument that humans are the cause will remain intact. I’m old enough to remember the scare was an impending ice age, though I can’t remember that humans were touted as being the cause. Back then, if memory serves me correctly, it was the sun that was being blamed.

What is this? Did the old horror film “The THING” just get re - released?

See? I could've gone with the ancient movie posters - but didn't. I deserve an award or something.
