From your “Day after Tomorrow” department (where a slowing Gulf Stream turned NYC into an icebox) comes this claim from the bowels of Mannian Science. Unfortunately, it looks to be of the caliber of Mann’s Hockey Schtick science.

As WUWT reported on a peer reviewed paper last year, H. Thomas Rossby says: URI oceanographer refutes claims that climate change is slowing pace of Gulf Stream saying in a paper published in Geophysical Research Letters:
“
“The ADCP measures currents at very high accuracy, and so through the repeat measurements we take year after year, we have a very powerful tool by which to monitor the strength of the current,” said Rossby. “There are variations of the current over time that are natural — and yes, we need to understand these better — but we find absolutely no evidence that suggests that the Gulf Stream is slowing down.”
Now do a quick Google Scholar search for both Rossby and Rahmstorf. Note the papers both have written and the number of citations for each. You will notice single digit citations, if at all, for the papers written by Rossby and double or triple digit citations for Rahmstorf. This means other researchers have referenced that work in their papers, which means they have a level of confidence in the particular work. Since there are high numbers of cites for more papers for one author over the other, the overall quality of the work of one over the other is indicated by the opinions of other experts. I referenced that higher quality author and you referenced a blog with a reference to the lower quality author.
