North Atlantic Current Gone?

A colleague in the USA sent this today. 


Life on this Earth just changed. 


The North  Atlantic Current is Gone

"The latest satellite data establishes that the North Atlantic Current (also  called the North Atlantic Drift) no longer exists and along with it the  Norway Current.  These two warm water currents are actually part of the  same system that has several names depending on where in the Atlantic  Ocean it is.  The entire system is a key part of the planet's heat  regulatory system; it is what keeps Ireland and the United Kingdom mostly ice free and the Scandinavia countries from being too cold; it is  what keeps the entire world from another Ice Age.  This Thermohaline Circulation System is now dead in places and dying in others."
