    A slowing Gulf Stream/thermohaline circulation could actually leave eastern Northern America (and parts of western Europe) colder than average while the tropics bake. Some studies have shown slow-downs in this circulation pattern induced by the large influx of cold, fresh water into the NATL from the melting of the Greenland ice sheet. I don't know the impact on Nor'easters (except we can't buy one this year), but the temperature effect is more obvious.

    That sounds like the plot of "Day After Tomorrow"; a guilty pleasure, as I am a "climate denier" by in large. I even read posts above yours, where our neighborhood professor alleges "complexity" in these "denials", in a rather dismissive post; I shudder to think what else he may know about me, that I do not know. 

    As this post will be deleted, and I may in fact be shunned from the main thread, in my own humble opinion, there is nothing worse in life than stifling debate by casting out the heretics. Science is a continual study of nature. Always evolving, much like our weather/climate. 

    Personally, I drive a 12 year old car that still gets 35mpg; my home is lit via led lights. Much to the dismay of my wife, the winter time indoor temperature stays below 67 degrees. I do all of this, not because of my contribution to the carbon foot print, but the impact on my wallet. (Which if the greenies get there way, will cause everyone of us to reconsider our power demand, but I digress).

    Anyway, it seemed the AGW debate was permitted latitude here; I just wanted to speak up in case there are any other "deniers" looking for snowstorms on the horizon.
