Ice Core Data Show Massive Changes In Ocean Currents, Temperature, From One Year To The Next

?t=323

Take 5 minutes for this.

I bagged a terrific interview with Jørgen Peder Steffensen of the Niels Bohr Institute, at his field office in Kangerlussuaq, Greenland, this past July. I started by asking Dr. Steffensen about implications of Greenland melt for sea level, but he wanted to move in another direction. The potential for abrupt climate changes, triggered by human caused warming and melting of Greenland ice.

Steffensen, it turns out, is a history buff, and that makes him all the more concerned.

I touched on this topic a few years ago in interviews with Mike Mann, Stefan Rahmstorf, and Jason Box, in relation to their study of the North Atlantic current – see below.
