Out of the Frying Pan Into the Freezer
Cold is the new hot

My thanks to Jaime Jessop for returning my attention to the subject of this piece, and my apologies to her for going over ground that she has already covered so well.
I first became aware of the return of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) scare story a few weeks ago when the You Tube algorithm pushed a Sabine Hossfelder video at me. In this she sought to worry viewers about the possibility of temperatures in north west Europe dropping by 5C or even 10C should AMOC shut down.
Around the same time the BBC website published an article with the heading “Could the UK actually get colder with global warming?” That in turn followed hard on the heels of another BBC article which appeared just a few weeks before that, headed “The ocean current vital to regulating our weather”. It’s almost as though the earlier article was setting the scene for the second article, and softening the public up for it.
