You know, I'd be more concerned when this story hits more credible sources. Using "It is likely", "effectively means," "helped to effectively hide," and "my own anonymous whistleblowers" don't exactly fill me with confidence that this author is a well respected authority in the topic. And how is PHRASECENSOREDPOSTERSHOULDKNOWBETTER. responsible for this?

Granted, his arguments make a certain kind of sense. But, even if the current is truly destroyed, I doubt it'll stay that way. Given the amount of heat put into the carribean and tropics, the water will likely warm up, start moving, and maybe resume it's path, effectively recreating the current we all know and love (numerous vague phrases added for shock value)

Of course, if I'm wrong, it'll be interesting how this plays out against global warming!
