  2. Anyone know a trick to get past the paywall?

    Edit: cheers to all you paywall breaking legends!

  5. Everyone confidently throwing out their explanations this reddit thread apparently know better than the actual climate scientists they interviewed for the article.

  7. I saw a movie about this once and it honestly worked out just fine. The guy got the girl by the end and reconnected with his dad. Millions died as well, but it wasn’t really the focus of the story.

  9. Didn’t “The Day After Tomorrow” cover this? Do we need to enlist Dennis Quaid?

  12. It’s the windmills, the blowing of the fans is cooling the surface

  13. Did we finally start dropping ice cubes into the ocean?

  14. cthulu is finally sick of our shit.

    coming to collect

  16. Can confirm, the article says what is happening a lot, and provides no idea why.

  18. I’d bet that somewhere the deep ocean currents are changing. And colder deeper water is rising up from below. I’m sure this won’t have any negative impacts at all.

  20. I bet it’s because of those huge fans they put in the sea recently

  21. From the original climate . gov publication by Franz Philip Tuchen:

    “This summer cooling is because of winds that act on the ocean surface.
    Earth has a year-round rainfall band around the tropics.
    Driven by stronger solar heating, this rainfall band migrates northward during the summer in the Northern Hemisphere.
    The regular rainstorms draw in air from the southeast over the equatorial Atlantic.
    These steady southeasterly winds are strong enough to drag surface waters away from the equator, which brings relatively cold water from deeper ocean layers to the surface.
    This process, known as equatorial upwelling, forms a tongue of relatively cold water along the equatorial Atlantic during the summer months.”

    Here is the source,

  22. NOBODY knows why:

    Meanwhile the reality is: https://www.climate.gov/news-features/event-tracker/atlantic-nina-verge-developing-heres-why-we-should-pay-attention

    “This summer cooling is because of winds that act on the ocean surface. Earth has a year-round rainfall band around the tropics.

  24. This is never good news northern Europe is not ready for Canadian winters,

  25. Icecaps melting? Idk. But sure sounds like the earth is pissed and ready to dish out some pain…

  26. What’s the big deal? You just have to get below the line drawn through the middle of the US map like in that one movie. Everyone above that line is already dead, sure, but everyone else chilling in Mexico will be good

    /s

  27. We are heating up the earth, which is wreaking havoc on the AMOC, which is the main reason North Atlantic waters and the Mediterranean Sea are so warm, considering how far north they are. That it?

  30. Remember when those stories of an alien ship at the sea floor in the Atlantic being the reason for the disappearances of ships/aircraft. It apparently has pretty large AC units too

  32. Might have something to do with ignoring science and pursuing profit.

  33. Ice melts and billions of gallons of frigid water flow into the ocean and nobody can figure out why the ocean gets cooler?

    For my next trick imma run out of ice and watch the temp rise so fast nobody will argue the point.

  34. This was proven scientifically back in the 1960s. The Atlantic current is shutting down due to the melting Arctic ice cap.

  35. I know why… I only peed in it twice this year. Well down from my average.
