«We argue that it was the establishment of the modern deep
ocean circulation — the
ocean conveyor —
about 2.7 million years ago, and not a major

In the paper Gray makes many extravagant claims about how supposed changes in the THC accounted for various 20th century climate changes («I judge our present global ocean circulation conditions to be similar to that of the period of the early 1940s when the globe had shown great warming since 1910, and there was concern as to whether this 1910 - 1940 global warming would continu

There are continuing major questions
about the future of the great ice sheets of Greenland and West Antarctica; the thawing of vast deposits of frozen methane;
changes in the
circulation patterns of the North Atlantic; the potential for runaway warming; and the impacts of
ocean carbonization and acidification.
There is also a natural variability of the climate system (
about a zero reference point) that produces El Nino and La Nina effects arising from
changes in ocean circulation patterns that can make the global temperature increase or decrease, over and above the global warming due to CO2.
