Gulf Stream is weakest its been in 1,600 years, study says

"What is common to the two periods of AMOC weakening -- the end of the Little Ice Age and recent decades -- is that they were both times of warming and melting," said researcher David Thornalley.

April 12 (UPI) -- The Gulf Stream has been slowing down since the middle of the 17th century, new research suggests, and is now at its weakest point in 1,600 years.

"Our study provides the first comprehensive analysis of ocean-based sediment records, demonstrating that this weakening of the Atlantic's overturning began near the end of the Little Ice Age, a centuries-long cold period that lasted until about 1850," Delia Oppo, a senior scientist with the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, said in a news release.

Someone explain to me just who was measuring the Gulf Stream in 418 AD, how they were measuring it  and where they recorded these highly scientific recordings because the only place I believe these folks found this information is

Measurement of salinity in ice cores. The pattern of the net stream effects not just wind circulation but water currents.
