But, you see, THIS event is (mis)used now to explain “how” the coming global warming will destroy the Gulf Stream and cause another global catastrophe ... Thus requiring socialistic controls over everybody's’s power and energy.
But, what the AGW extremists (conveniently) ignore is that - today - there is NO ice mass this big across Canada - therefore, there can be NO mass melting and NO interruption of the Gulf Stream.
History CANNOT repeat itself (this time!) because the precursors are completely absent! Yet, this time, because it IS convenient for the AGW extremists to -re-use history, they DO WANT to repeat this scenario.
(Note also that there is written history of a massive flood about this frame in the MidEast and around the world
“there is NO ice mass this big across Canada - therefore, there can be NO mass melting and NO interruption of the Gulf Stream.”
I hope you are right. Nevertheless, there is the danger that when the Arctic ice melts completely in the summer, it could cause an interruption. The mechanism is that as the water in the GS moves into the arctic, it freezes, causing the remaining water to be more salty and therefore heavier. This water sinks to the bottom of the ocean and circulates back to the Equator where the whole cycle repeats itself. Two terms you can Goggle are NAO (North Atlantic Oscillation), and NADW (North Atlantic Deep Water).
