I still haven't heard a public recantation from those who told
us all that a new ice age was coming upon us; that Iraqui
oil fires would deposit soot on the Himalayas and flood
Bangladesh; and that limits to growth would make us run out
of a large number of basic raw materials and make us choke
on our own refuse.

At least one prediction is that in a warming of the north pole, the
meting ice cools the north Atlantic, this stops the gulf stream from
coming to Europe ( a significant factor ). Hence a warmer world
could
mean a European ice age!!!

And oft repeated, except its a poor prediction because the Gulf Stream
isnt
responsible for more than about 2 degrees of our winter warth. Most of
it is
because the prevailing winds come across a relatively warm ocean.

I thought 2 degrees would make a big difference. And if the prevailing
winds come across a colder ocean!!

Art

Well, if the temperature rises 2 degrees due to GW, then it will put us back
to the status quo.

Hmm! Interesting possibility. On balance I still think I'll emigrate
in 5 or 10 years though - you can get a bigger garden other places.
