The North Atlantic “Cold Blob” and Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation Collapse Hype

Just when climate alarmists had you convinced the planet was incinerating, scientists are now pivoting their doomsday narrative to a mysterious “cold blob” lurking in the North Atlantic — and this time, they’re warning of global cooling, collapsing ocean currents, and apocalyptic scenarios straight out of The Day After Tomorrow.

Legal Insurrection readers may recall a story I wrote late last year on the “New Ice Age“. It featured a reference to the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, or AMOC, which is a “conveyor belt of the ocean” that funnels warm water toward the ocean surface — from the tropics to the Northern Hemisphere.

There was a paper that argued Greenland’s glaciers are melting so much that its cold waters are dumping into the Atlantic, which may cause a collapse of the AMOC…and, subsequently, a new ice age.

In other words, global warming is leading to global cooling. This stance was subsequently refuted by meteorologist Chris Martz.
