IL NEIGE EN EUROPE

It is snowing in Europe.  There are those who will say, "See, that proves there is no global warming." Buit in fact, just the opposite is true.  It proves there IS global warming.  As the Arctic ice melts, it is pushing the Gulf stream lower, thus preventing its warming of the British Isles and Northern Europe."  


BBC writes:  "Heavy snowfall has caused disruption across northern Europe, closing airports and bringing traffic to a standstill.
In Poland, eight homeless people died as temperatures fell below -20C (-4F).
Airports were closed in the UK, France and Switzerland. Dozens of flights were affected in Germany and Spain."

In January 2010 Robert Kyriakides wrote about Global Warming making British winters colder. "
The important thing here is to look at the latitude of the United Kingdom. It is at the same latitude as Newfoundland and much of Siberia, which places have incredibly cold winters. Traditionally the United Kingdom has warm winters for its latitude and the reason for this is the North Atlantic Ocean Circulation System.

The ocean currents in the North Atlantic travel approximately from the Caribbean to the shores of the British Isles. In three dimensions they constitute a conveyor belt, which is partly driven by the effect of the earth’s rotation, but mostly by the greater energies created by differences in water temperatures. We call this the Gulf Stream and it warms the British Isles. If the Gulf Stream shut off the British Isles would have winters as cold as those of Newfoundland and Labrador."  For the complete article, click here.  "Generally scientists tend to the view that stopping the Gulf Stream altogether is unlikely, but slowing it down is probable, if the climate continues to warm.  It is clear that the more freshwater you add, the more you slow down the Gulf Stream and a slowed down Gulf Stream will provide less heat to North West Europe. A stopped Gulf Stream will provide no heat at all."

In March, David Derbyshire wrote that Global Warming is not a threat to the Gulf stream's effect on temperature in the British Isles and northern Europe. "
Some environmentalists have argued that global warming could shut off the stream - sending temperatures spiralling down across Europe as they rise elsewhere.
The controversial scenario was dramatised in the apocalyptic Hollywood blockbuster The Day After Tomorrow and is predicted in some computer models of climate change.
The new study used satellite data to study the pattern of Atlantic currents between 2002 and 2009. The researchers, from Nasa's Jet Propulsion Laboratory found no long term trend - just short term variability.
The research is published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters.
'The changes we're seeing in overturning strength are probably part of a natural cycle,' said Josh Willis from Nasa. The warm water that heads north from the Tropics sinks in the Arctic and flows back south at the bottom of the ocean, driving the cycle of currents.

Fears that the circulation was slowing emerged in a study by the UK National Oceanography Centre in 2005.
Recordings from an array of detectors across the Atlantic suggested the volume of cold water returning south from the Arctic could have fallen by nearly a third in half a century.
But the new Nasa study concluded that there was no decrease in the Gulf Stream in the last seven years, and that it is 'unlikely' to have weakened in the last two decades." For the article, click here.

You can choose which 'facts' you might believe.  The aboce proves, "For every action, there is a reaction."  Everytime someone proves something, someone 'disproves' it.  Thus there was no Holocaust for some, aliens hidden in New Mexico by the government, the moon walk never happened but was filmed in Hollywood, Al Qaeda didn't plan the World Trade Towers blow-up, it was a plan by the USA government to lay the foundation for the Iraq war and trouble for the middle-East.  You have heard it all, I'm sure.  Depending on how much research you do and how reliant are your sources, you might find out what happens in our next life chapter.
