In contrast to recent claims of a Gulf Stream slowdown, two decades of directly measured velocity across the current show no evidence of a decrease. --T. Rossby et al., Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 41, Issue 1, pages 114–120, 16 January 2014 New NASA measurements of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, part of the global ocean conveyor belt that helps regulate climate around the North Atlantic, show no significant slowing over the past 15 years. The data suggest the circulation may have even sped up slightly in the recent past. --NASA News, 25 March 2010 The Gulf Stream that helps to keep Britain from freezing over in winter is slowing down faster now than at any time in the past millennium according to a study suggesting that major changes are taking place to the ocean currents of the North Atlantic. --Steve Connor, The Independent, 24 March 2015https://climatechangedispatch.com/wp-content/uploads/images_pics7_gulf-stream-scare1.jpg
