29 March 2010, BBC News: Gulf Stream 'is not slowing down' Citat: "...Between 2002 and 2009, the team says, there was no trend discernible – just a lot of variability on short timescales...The NOC team now has a chain of instruments in place across the Atlantic, making measurements continuously. "In four-and-a-half years of measurement, we have found there is a lot of variability, and we're working to explain it," said NOC's Harry Bryden...Professor Bryden's team calculates that their system is good enough to detect a long-term change in flow of about 20% – but it has not happened yet..."

2. feb 2007, Ing.dk: Golfstrømmens betydning er overvurderetArkiveret 25. februar 2008 hos Wayback Machine Citat: "...Når bjerge som Rocky Mountains har så stor betydning for klimaet her på den anden side af Jorden, skyldes det, at bjergkæden afbøjer vinden mod sydøst ved et samspil imellem bjergene og Jordens rotation...Eigil Kaas er enig med David Battisti og Richard Seager, at Golfstrømmen ikke har nogen særlig betydning for hverken temperaturen i Europa eller for temperaturforskellen hen over Nordatlanten..."
25. feb 2021, ing.dk: Nordatlantiske havstrømme kan svækkes hurtigere end hidtil antaget Citat: "...Kompleks havmodel forudser, at de nordatlantiske havstrømme risikerer at gå i stå hurtigere, end forskning tidligere har påpeget. Det kan føre til en helt ny form for uforudsigelighed i vores klimasystemer, advarer danske forskere...Klimamodeller har gang på gang forudset, at den globale opvarmning vil sænke farten på havstrømmene, men nu tyder det altså på, at udviklingen vil ske endnu hurtigere end tidligere antaget...For når havstrømmen når det vendepunkt, hvor den går i dvale, er der ingen vej tilbage, fortæller forskerne...", backup
University of Rhode Island. (2014, March 3). Oceanographer refutes claims that climate change is slowing pace of Gulf Stream. ScienceDaily Citat: "...But this is exactly what has been underway at the University of Rhode Island and Stony Brook University for the last 20 years: measurement of the strength of the Gulf Stream....These new results reinforce earlier findings about the stability of Gulf Stream transport based on observations from as far back as the 1930s..."There are variations of the current over time that are natural -- and yes, we need to understand these better -- but we find absolutely no evidence that suggests that the Gulf Stream is slowing down."..."
Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel (GEOMAR). (2016, June 20). Breathing space for the Gulf Stream: Scientists calculate the fate of the Greenland meltwater. ScienceDaily Citat: "...The model calculations showed that more than half of the meltwater is transported southwards along the Canadian coast by the Labrador Current. Less than 20 percent remain in the area between Greenland and Labrador which is critical for the Gulf Stream system. The model suggests that the melting-induced impact on ocean salinity is, to date, only half as large as natural variations measured in the past decades...However, the simulation also shows a progressive trend in the freshening of the Labrador Sea. "If we project the rise in Greenland melting rates into the future, we expect first noticeable changes in the Labrador Sea in two or three decades," emphasizes Professor Böning, "in this sense the Gulf Stream may just get some breathing space." "Meltwater fluxes from Greenland have been accelerating in recent years and if, as seems likely, this trend continues we could see changes in ocean circulation even sooner" explains co-author Jonathan Bamber, Professor at the University of Bristol..."
December 18, 2021, scitechdaily.com: Winter Is Coming Paradox: Researchers Uncover the Surprising Cause of the Little Ice Age Citat: "...But in the late 1300s, AMOC strengthened significantly, which meant that far more warm water than usual was moving north, which in turn cause rapid Arctic ice loss. Over the course of a few decades in the late 1300s and 1400s, vast amounts of ice were flushed out into the North Atlantic, which not only cooled the North Atlantic waters, but also diluted their saltiness, ultimately causing AMOC to collapse. It is this collapse that then triggered a substantial cooling..."

23. marts 2015, videnskab.dk: Mystisk havfænomen kan give ekstremt klima i Danmark. Citat: "...Det kolde område syd for Island laver rod i denne globale varmefordeler. »Problemet med dette kolde område er, at det består af koldt ferskvand. Da ferskvand er lettere end saltvand, vil det ikke synke til bunds, men lægger sig som et låg over de globale havstrømme syd for Island. Det betyder at hele bevægelsen i havstrømmene aftager. Derfor har vi forskere været meget interesserede i at finde ud af, hvorfor dette kolde område overhovedet findes, og hvorfor det bliver ved med at blive større,« forklarer Jason Box...Undersøgelser viste, at havstrømmene i Atlanterhavet aldrig har været svagere, end de er i dag, og at det siden 1970’erne er gået hastigt ned ad bakke. »Klimaforandringerne har været med til at svække de atlantiske havstrømme dramatisk, og det ser ud til, at det kommer til at blive endnu mere markant i fremtiden,« siger Jason Box..."
