The research co-led by Drs. Christelle Not and Benoit Thibodeau from the Department of Earth Sciences and the Swire Institute of Marine Science, The University of Hong Kong, highlights a dramatic weakening of the circulation during the 20th century that is interpreted to be a direct consequence of global warming and associated melt of the Greenland Ice-Sheet. This is important for near-future climate as slower circulation in the North Atlantic can yield profound change on both the North American and European climate but also on the African and Asian summer monsoon rainfall. The findings were recently published in the prestigious journal Geophysical Research Letters.
[...] Interestingly, the research team also found a weak signal during a period called the Little Ice Age (a cold spell observed between about 1600 and 1850 AD). While not as pronounced as the 20th century trend, the signal might confirm that this period was also characterized by a weaker circulation in the North Atlantic, which implies a decrease in the transfer of heat toward Europe, contributing to the cold temperature of this period. However, more work is needed to validate this hypothesis.

Compleat and utter non sequitur, this right here is. Since humans can't stop it, it wasn't humans that caused it? You mean like the Crash of '08, or the Nuclear War of 2021? Even a shill should recognize this reasoning is fallacious, and be embarrassed to put it in writing, even as an AC.

It isn't about logic, it is about pushing a narrative. They can't use the denier stance now that even some of the die-hard deniers have change their tune, so acknowledge reality and then immediately deny reality in a way that keeps the narrative on track.
And people think this site is too small for shills, ha!

Who ever denied the climate changes?

frojack, khallow, jmorris, Sulla, VLM, and tRDT. For starters. And yes, we know what you mean, and you are arguing in bad faith.

Welcome to SN, clearly you are new here!
I see that you have never read a thread about AGW on this site, including the one you just posted in.
