If the theories I have read and communicated in the previous posts are correct, the picture is different than many horror movies about a stalling Gulf Stream showes. Is the conclusion that global warming overall, rather contribute to an increase in salinity in the North Atlantic, despite the melting of the Greenland ice sheet?
Global warming could thus create conditions for the trade winds to remove fresh water from the Atlantic Ocean?
Calculation made by the researchers suggest that the increase in global warming increases water transport to the Pacific Ocean through the atmosphere at a higher tempo than matched by the increase in the supply of fresh water from the Greenland ice sheet.
With an increasing global warming, we can in this case assume that the Gulf Stream is strengthened rather than weakened in the future.
But what happens in the Pacific when the salinity drops there? Even more El Niño? It's an all too confusing question to answer for me.
