Britain faces big chill as ocean current slows

"Wadhams and his colleagues believe, however, that just such changes could be well under way. They predict that the slowing of the Gulf Stream is likely to be accompanied by other effects, such as the complete summer melting of the Arctic ice cap by as early as 2020 and almost certainly by 2080."

And it begins.

What gets me is that people will probably act shocked and surprised when this stuff starts going down.

Conservative politicians especially. The very ones who now are paying their house scientists to "debunk" global warming, will no doubt proclaim when it happens, "We warned you about this all along." (After expressing the requisite shock and surprise, of course.)

Hmmm. This theory has "Tom Van Flandern" written all over it.

The problem with any Earth-centric theory as to what's causing global warming is that it also appears to be happening on all the other planets out to and including Pluto. We know for a fact that it's happening on Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Neptune and Pluto, anyhow. I'm speculating on the rest.
