Receding Gulf Stream
      Thu Dec 01 2005 04:29 PM

The actual article was entitled "Alarm over dramatic weakening of Gulf Stream" attributed to Ian Sample Science correspondent for The Guardian , a British daily., published in The Guardian on Dec. 1, 2005.
The current is alleged to be 1/3 weaker over the last decade, attributed to Global Warming. It will allegedly lower the ambient temperature across Great Britian by a full degree in the next ten years resulting in more extreme weather, severe winters and cooler summers.
The source of the decline is attributed to the supposedly global warming effects of increased melt water from the Greenland and artic glaciers and increased runoff in rivers into the North sea from Russia. However the scientist had to note that the climatological record is consistent with this same phenomena in the distant past (pre Global gas emmisions into the ionosphere). The article also hedges on a conclusion that the effect noted is any thing other than a short term variation.
Needless to say I am a little putoff by Globl Warming becoming the cause of many climatologically explainable events such as increased hurricane activity also over that same decade.

Can there be any correlation between the alleged alteration of the flow of the current and the atmospheric patterns effecting the development of hurricanes in the North Atlantic?
