Australian and Japanese scientists found the current using measuring devices anchored to the ocean floor about 4,200 kilometres south-west of Perth.
Dr Steve Rintoul from the CSIRO in Hobart says the current is flowing about three kilometres below the surface and carries 40 times as much water as the Amazon River.
"It's a larger part of the deep ocean current system than we expected," he said.

You mean the oceans influence the climate? I thought it was SUV's.

“We’re seeing signals of change, we’re seeing the water is fresher than it used to be,” he said.
But, wait! It thought the oceans were getting saltier because of all the road salt we have been using to melt ice!

Thanx
!"Ocean currents help regulate the Earth's climate by storing and transporting heat and carbon dioxide. Dr Rintoul says the discovery will help ongoing studies of climate change. 'We're seeing signals of change, we're seeing the water is fresher than it used to be,' he said."
I guess we have Ted Danson to thank for saving the oceans.

Are we allowed to salt our roadkill?

This is deep on the bottom. Fresh water shouldn’t be getting down there because it is less dense.

I blame this current on George Bush. And racism.

It is spring. And I would think there is a seasonal overturn for the oceans too.
