Reply #17: A better answer, and a question: Which pollluted waters from the G of M? [View All]

I don't see any evidence regarding more pollution coming out of the Gulf of Mexico via the Loop Current. Also, the scenario that melt water is pushing the warm water away is incorrect. The system may be getting jammed if there's too much fresh water on top, this precludes it from sinking and activating the countercurrent which flows in deep water (the conveyor).

I would study this fascinating subject a bit more, it's really interesting - but the arguments you make are what one finds in a Hollywood movie - in other words, they're not realistic.
