Water bubble brewing could cause New Ice Age

    Nowhere in the article does it reference "New Ice Age"

    It alludes to a disruption of the gulf stream at "best"
    If the fresh water were to enter the North Atlantic in large volumes, the concern would be that it might disturb the currents that have such a great influence on European weather patterns. These currents draw warm waters up from the tropics, maintaining milder temperatures in winter than would ordinarily be expected at northern European latitudes.

    What I see here is that they are noticing something based on 16 years of data and are trying to figure out what it means.

    It's an interesting anomoly, but it's not clear what it really means from the article
