Gulfstream slows, somebody says

Word from the European Community is that the Gulfstream is slowing by 30% over recent time. Whoa Nellie! Worse is that this means the British Isles and Northern Europe will cool precipitously. Some say as much as 6 degrees C over the next decade or so. That's Ice Age temps. What's causing all this? Global Warming of course. The Journal Nature is quoted in the Guardian, one of Europe's premier left wing news outlets.

The basis for this dot-connection-science is that Global Warming is melting the Polar ice cap and Greenland's ice which is changing the Atlantic's salinity which reducing it's weight which keeps it from sinking into the abyss which reduces the circulatory speed of the Gulfstream. That means the volume of warm water streaming north is reduced which means the UK and Northern Europe are cooling. Whew, that's a mouth full. And it's a long stretch to connect each of these rather Global Warming accommodating dots.

What do climate scientists say about this most dramatic development? Don't know? It's the politicians speaking as usual. The same politicians that "feel" we are over consuming and which fear property ownership and personal empowerment. Yes, those secular socialist political scientists!
