[quote:Anonymous Coward 515108:MV8xMTUyMzEyXzE4NTUyMjQ5XzI4ODQ0MUIx] [quote:Anonymous Coward 1057689] How trustworthy are readings from a satellite when it comes to underwater current readings? Seems a little suspicious? no? Well scientists have been studying it for 20 to 30 years I believe. I'm sure they know enough to identify observable changes. [/quote] That I don't argue with but how do you measure the current only depending on satellite data? the current is deep down and is measured with bouyus... Just questioning the information by this scientist... [/quote]

Oceanographic satellite data now shows that the Loop Current in the Gulf of Mexico has stalled as a consequence of the BP oil spill [volcano] disaster. This according to Dr. Gianluigi Zangari, an Italian theoretical physicist, and major complex and chaotic systems analyst at the Frascati National Laboratories in Italy.
He further notes that the effects of this stall have also begun to spread to the Gulf Stream. This is because the Loop Current is a crucial element of the Gulf Stream itself and why it is commonly referred to as the “main engine” of the Stream.
The concern now, is whether or not natural processes can re-establish the stalled Loop Current. If not, we could begin to see global crop failures as early as 2011.
