"Nothing in climate works alone."
No scientist believes otherwise.
"Thermohaline circulation has been shown to produce quite a chilling effect on Europe, at the very least."
Even around much of the Northern Hemisphere in some prehistoric cases, granted.
"Albedo will increase as a result."
Hold on. Have you accounted for the *decrease* in albedo at the North Pole from Arctic ice melt, as I asked you yesterday? I haven't seen you calculate that or post any research which has calculated the *net* global albedo change.
"Will that increase be enough for it to then take over like the next stage of a rocket to glaciation? I am not an expert on that subject. All I can say at this time is that some senario like this is the leading candidate for hypothesis at this time."
Okay, now The $0.64 Question:
Not being an expert, and not having calculated the magnitude of the decreasing Arctic ice which *obviously* has the opposite effect of the increasing European ice on global albedo, on what basis exactly do you declare with such certitude that you "can say at this time (is) that some senario like this is the ***leading candidate for hypothesis*** at this time"? (emphasis added)
As I already said at least once, it does look plausible, qualitatively at least. In other words, I have clearly *not* ruled it out on its face. But "leading" hypothesis? That *requires* calculations, which, if you have posted, I have not noticed.
