Junk Scientist simpers again

In a shockingly fatuous Fox News post from Dec. 1, Junk Science promoter Stephen Milloyย heralds the death of global warming, as proven in the earlier reported Nature magazine story about the decline in the Atlantic Oceanโ€™s Gulfย Current.

Youโ€™ll recall the import of the Nature study, the Arctic warms; Arctic water stops dropping dropping so quickly; slowingย the pace at which warm Caribbean waters rise and cycle north. That cycle currently preventsย European countries are northerly latitudesย fromย falling into a deepfreeze. Thus, ifย global warming continues unchecked and the Gulf Current stops, bye bye palm trees in Cornwall; helloย ice bergs is Oslo. (No wonder the Europeans are taking this whole thingย seriously.)

Apparently unable to hold two thoughts in his head at the same time, Mr. Milloy reasons that a chillier Europe is proof that theย climate isnโ€™t changing. (Yes, I know that doesnโ€™t makeย sense.)

Given Milloyโ€™s track record, this would be easily dismissable, except that now his argument is poppingย up in other โ€œclimate skepticโ€ publications likeย The Conservative Voice,ย creating that echo chamber effect in which you gamble that if you repeat something silly often enough, it will begin to lookย more reasonable โ€“ perhaps evenย true.

Alas,ย not.
