Another point worthy of consideration is a bye-product of a POSSIBLE
shut down or diversion of the North Atlantic gyre which brings the N.
Atlantic Drift to our shores. Centrifugal and vortical forces cause the
sea surface to be slightly dish shaped around a cyclonic gyre, dome
shaped over its counter circulation; stop them and you get changes.
Whether this is a "good thing" depends on where you are and which
gyres stop/move!

Stop stirring it Rodney.


Very clever; I like that (and stirring occasionally to stop stagnation).
