Not sure where you got that statistic from - the scientific consensus is that the Gulf Stream may slow down but that it will not switch off. Such an event is theoretically possible but the probabililty is said to be low.

The 'science' behind TDAT is very poor indeed, according to climatologists:

I have read in other articles that there are currently no predictive climate models that show the Gulf Stream switching off completely.
