Our climate change is related to deep ocean currents & glaciations

Earth Times: The mapping of currents deep in the oceans has been a protracted study. A combination of deep ocean sediment core samples and NASA imaging now reveal that climate change is affected at least as much by the sea as by the air temperature. Rutgers University academics Stella Woodard, Yair Rosenthal, Kenneth Miller, James Wright, with Kira Lawrence (Lafayette College) and Beverly Chiu, all contributed to the paper in the journal Science that puts a new perspective on climate change. We recently looked...

Global warming hiatus could be down to changing Atlantic currents

Independent: The world would be an even warmer place had it not been for a change in the water currents of the North and South Atlantic which have transported huge amounts of heat from the sea surface to the deeper regions of the ocean, scientists said. A study based on temperature data collected from deep-sea probes has found that since about 2000 there has been a greater flow of sinking water taking heat from the surface of the Atlantic which has helped to counteract man-made global warming. The findings,...

Don't be fooled by pause in global warming caused by 30 year cycle in ocean currents warn scientists

Daily Kos: An apparent slowdown in global warming caused by a 30 year ocean cycle could lull people into a misperception that global warming has paused when it has not, reports Math McGrath of the BBC. During his phase of the cycle heat is being pulled deep into the Atlantic Ocean. This phase could last another 10 years which, if this theory is true will be followed by another 30 year period where stored up heat is disgorged back into the atmosphere adding together with the longer term global warming causing...

The link between oceanic currents and climate
2014-07-07 08:09:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Environmental News Network: For decades, climate scientists have tried to explain why ice-age cycles became longer and more intense about 900,000 years ago, switching from 41,000-year cycles to 100,000-year cycles. In a new study in the journal Science, researchers found that the deep ocean currents that move heat around the globe stalled or even stopped, possibly due to expanding ice cover in the north. The slowing currents increased carbon dioxide storage in the ocean, leaving less in the atmosphere, which kept temperatures...
