History Channel just aired a show about the ''Mini Ice Age''.
Some scientists think the lowering of salinity , by the melting
ice, was the cause.

The salinity of the water makes it plunge up north and power
the
current.

All the fresh melt is slowing the engine(plunge) of the world
current.

Read it somewhere a year or so ago. Very interesting maps of
the worlds
currents. I'll see if I can find a link.

Sometime in the recent past, there was an event that was generally called
the "great salinity anomoly" in the North Atlantic. There was a large patch
of lower salinity water that the scientists were at a loss to explain. I
don't remember exactly when it was, but I don't think it was more than 10
years ago.

Ok, I did some checking. It was noted in 1969, and persisted for several
years.

Caused by UFO's in their secret base in the
Bermuda Triangle.
