Saline and are said to go down deeper and power the Gulf Stream, etc. and all the way around the globe circulating, is able to do that too?

I only thought I had such weird thoughts. I was only guessing. I know of the Gulf Coast geosyncline as it was called in my college geology classes, is on the way down. but slowly. And beaches are being eroded from hurricanes and more sand is being trucked in to replace them. But big cities like parts of the NYC and eastern cities did flood during the last hurricane season, and a lot of water backed up into the rivers, etc in the NE. We also had a thread this year about global warming climate denying legislators in the southeastern states were found to be selling out their beachfront properties. And things have not really recovered i n the Gulf states after Katrina and Ike. The construction there is different now. The really big thing is if the ocean current 'conveyor belt' is slowed by an influx of cold water disrupting it. Some said it would lead to much colder winters in northern Europe and the NE and other problems. IDK, really don't.

Thanks RobertEarl.
