New Study Indicates The North Atlantic Is Colder Now Than Any Other Time In The Last 9000 Years
By Kenneth Richard on 3. July 2025

According to a new study, abrupt (±1-2°C per century) shifts in North Atlantic sea surface temperature (SST) have occurred routinely over the last 9000 years. These decadal- to centennial-scale climate changes were “induced by Holocene summer insolation and atmosphere-ocean internal variability.”

The average SST throughout the 8.2 ka fluctuation was 10.0°C. The average 4.2 ka SST was 8.1°C. And during the Little Ice Age (LIA, 1600-1900 CE) the North Atlantic SSTs averaged 7.5°C.

Since 1900, SSTs have been stable to declining, suggesting the modern period is the coldest of the Holocene.

North Atlantic SSTs have not warmed (net) in the last 120 years, or since the late 1800s.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

It makes perfect sense since, as we are told by our wizards on the left, climate change causes everything to get warmer, which in turn causes everything to get colder. :whistle:

But . . . but it's climate change that caused that.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
Will someone tell those idiots they can stop shooting stuff into the atmosphere to block the sun, now?

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Actually, this is more likely an argument for doing just that.  The reason the North Atlantic is cold is most likely that the melting of the north polar ice cap has diluted the North Atlantic to the point that the thermohaline circulation that moves heat north from the tropics (the most famous warm current that is part of that is the Gulf Stream) has slowed.

Just putting the amount of sulphur allowed in jet fuel back to pre-Clean-Air-Act levels (and only for flights taking routes traveling above 55 degrees north latitude) would be enough to help with this: it would increase cloud formation in the arctic, leading to the north polar ice cap refreezing. 

Unless, of course, it's too late, and the thermohaline currents shut down anyway, in which case, even a lot of the oldsters posting here may live to see the next Ice Age.

The fact that warming has been asymmetric with the arctic leading the antarctic -- the latter may actually be cooling -- is one of the many strong arguments against CO2 emissions as the cause of recent climate change.  (Note: I am using those last two words in their English meaning, not their Newspeak meaning.)
And when they behead your own people in the wars which are to come, then you will know what this was all about.

Obviously, we need more cows farting up north.
