"michael adams" expounded:


There are claims even among Global Warming supporting
meteorologists that the present European droughts and heatwaves
are merely features of a recurrent 60 yr(?) cycle. Because ironically
global warming is expected to adversly affect the Gulf Stream
and make Western Europe more subject to cold air currents from
the Central Asian landmass to the East.

Actually it's part of a 10-12,000 year cycle, but no one alive was
around for the last one, so they can't imagine time on that scale.
