State of the Oceans - Do they care about anything?

 I haven't done this in a long time.  Mainly because nothing is happening, it has been the same for a year now.  The Pacific belt is churning with cold water, and the North Atlantic current is diddling. 

The ice is slowly creeping into that big Greenland Inset.  For the Little Ice Age, it has to totally fill in.  I am expecting that, but the uncertainties of residual heat in the Atlantic, could make me look like a presidential loser.

That current has been the same for a long time.  It is carrying all the heat to Spain, who recently had a stationary cyclone dump all over them.  The heat in Spain does not come to the UK.

I can't conceive of the energy in this turbulent flow.  Probably more than 10 times anything else.

However, that means no heat energy is being carried to the West.  They will have fun trying to get a La Nina out of this.  

I used to think that the Atlantic belt contributed to the Gulf Stream, but it doesn't.  Right now, there is no feed to the Gulf and it makes no difference.  The Gulf of Mexico doesn't have any heat energy right now, but there's lots around the Caribbean.  Without more physics, I have no clue what this means.

ps for the title, the oceans are the "Apex Energizers" of the world, they don't care about anything.

ps just found this chart.  It's the water temperature of the classic El Nino zone in the Pacific equatorial belt.

The red line is last year, and the very peak is 2015, just before the Big One.  Neat, shows how cold we are now.  The mechanism for this variation is amazing, whatever it is.
