As a result, according to Seager, a slowdown or halt of the Atlantic thermohaline circulation (the conveyor) would not lead to climate catastrophe. The likelihood of a Younger Dryas shutdown of the thermohaline circulation has also been argued to be unlikely by our 2006 Logan medallist (Hillaire-Marcel and Weaver 2005).
