Only John Larkin would need to ask. It isn't. It exists to deliver information in a form that is relatively easy to read, and concerns itself primarily with the quality of the writing (though the content needs to be defensible too).

After the Greenland glaciers are gone, why wouldn't the Gulf Stream.restart. During the melting period, this may be an issue.
Churchill is at 59N in continental climate, London at 51N is clearly oceanic climate and Oslo, Stockholm, Helsinki and St. Petersburg at
60N in a mixed climate.
Historically the thermohaline circulation conveyor is (at least) bistable. The bottom line is: salinity leads to non-linearity which causes the existence of multiple equilibria and thresholds in the THC.
A reasonable starting point that I found by googling "thermohaline circulation" is
You are probably right; I only looked quickly on a low-res map. However, I don't think it really changes the point. Have a look at "Figure 3. Deviation of surface air temperature from zonal mean" in the above reference.
Well, Bill Sloman reckons it's okay, so i guess the answer is "yes". ;->

Don't get me wrong, I really like the New Yorker and consider it one of the best magazines out there, however I found that article too much to take seriously.
It seems to me that there is a lot of pressure to print climate disaster stories...

Bad logic. But then again, Cursitor Doom probably doesn't know what a peer-reviewed scientific journal is, never having gotten stuck with referring a paper for one of them.

Except that it wasn't any kind of climate disaster story. If anything it concentrated on why nothing effective was happening to put off what looks as if it might be a climate disaster.
Which makes it a political disaster story.

If you snipped out every piece that contains "climate" and "Trump", the NY Times would be nothing but ads for watches and handbags, and NPR would go back to playing classical music all day.

And in an ideal world, would impending doom create less pressure? Or more? Or would there be a lot of pressure to suppress climate disaster stories? That's what I'm seeing, and it stinks. Mann deserves a verdict on this, but National Review is still stalling.

nThere are a range of journalistic standards, and Fox News isn't into compet ing on intellectual quality.
John Larkin does seem to be peculiarly sensitive to stories that he doesn't want to be exposed to.
Trump's defects are remarkably ostentatious (like his buildings) and respec table newspapers feel they have a duty to report them. There must be other subjects than climate filling the occasional gaps between revelations about Trump's failings, but John Larkin only seems to react to the climate chang e reports.
Clearly an observer effect.
