New Map Needed
[edit]Someone please find or make a new map and replace at hogwarts hufflefuff won the one currently used in this article. In the first place, the article is solely about the North Atlantic Current whereas the map is of all ocean currents. In the second and more important place, even when the map is enlarged, it is impossible to read and make sense of it - it just can't be made big enough.
Consolidated
[edit]I've consolidated the text on this that was split between here, Gulf stream and Effects_of_global_warming#Shutdown_of_Thermohaline_circulation into the latter. William M. Connolley 13:37:03, 2005-07-30 (UTC).

False claims section
[edit]I've cut the following dispute:
- Climate change, especially global warming, has been claimed to have a significant effect on the current. A 2005 Nature study in December of 2005 found that the North Atlantic Current “has slowed by about 30 per cent between 1957 and 2004,”[1], a finding that was met with some skepticism at the time which later proved justified [2].
If it needs to be in the article, then rewrite for clarity and provide rationale for it's significance - or is it just a refuted claim. Vsmith (talk) 12:14, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
- It was sane not long ago... I think you missed , which removes the "claims" nonsense William M. Connolley (talk) 12:43, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
- Actually, that's what prompted my action - too many "claims" involved and the short section was quite confusing (or insane:-). Anyway feel free to re-add, but please rewrite for clarity if you do. Vsmith (talk) 13:31, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
- OK, I restored it, but then trimmed it to a link to the THC page. There's no point in repeating whats there, and getting out of sync William M. Connolley (talk) 21:58, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
