STOP THE NEXT GLACIATION PROJECT - SNGP
Proposed by M.A. Vukcevic September 16, 2012
North Atlantic Sea Surface Temperatures vary about one degree C. Atlantic currents (mainly Norwegian current) take part of the Atlantic warm water into the Arctic Ocean. In order to prevent the all year around Arctic Ocean freezing it is necessary either to increase the N. Atlantic SST or increase the Arctic inflow.
Increase in the SST temperature is out of question, while the main obstacle to the inflow is the Faroe Bank, which is about 450m high, 50km wide and 200km long
The bathymetry of the Faroe Bank Channel revels its very unusual shape, a clear obstacle to large volume of the Atlantic warm water inflow into the Arctic ocean. Gradually removing section of the Faroe Bank (as the temperatures fall, a number of centuries may be available for necessary work to be completed ) outlined in the red would increase warm waters inflow, possibly double-up, which would be sufficient to prevent the all year around Arctic Ocean freezing, necessary for the onset of glaciation.
It should be within our ingenuity to prepare project study and implement it when necessary.
