The ocean current that gives western Europe its relatively balmy climate is stuttering, raising fears that it might fail entirely and plunge the continent into a mini ice age.
The dramatic finding comes from a study of ocean circulation in the North Atlantic, which found a 30% reduction in the warm currents that carry water north from the Gulf Stream.
The slow-down, which has long been predicted as a possible consequence of global warming, will give renewed urgency to intergovernmental talks in Montreal, Canada, this week on a successor to the Kyoto Protocol.
Harry Bryden at the Southampton Oceanography Centre in the UK, whose group carried out the analysis, says he is not yet sure if the change is temporary or signals a long-term trend. "We don’t want to say the circulation will shut down," he told New Scientist. "But we are nervous about our findings. They have come as quite a surprise."
I thought global warming was going to melt the icecaps and flood out the lowlands. Guess that wasn't bad enough to scare us all into trading in our oil guzzlers, so now it's going to cause a mini-ice age (which I'm guessing would add ice to the icecaps) and then later melt those same icecaps and flood us all. We're doomed either way.
Dang it. What am I going to do with all that suntan lotion now?
The worse the climate gets - or so the media proclaims -
the more control politicians will try to get over your lives. George Orwell couldn't have thought up a more devious scenerio.
Feh. Now it's getting colder? These scientists flip-flop more than John Kerry.
mumble mumble newbies don't know how to search... mumble
I'm so confused.
Okay, here's the plan... our drinking water today is simply dinosaur pee, right?
So... what we need-- dinosaurs. Crisis averted.
Remember in the early 70's, we were being led to belive in global cooling. Remember the Time Mag cover with the deep blue picture of the Earth?
Nobody bought that crap, so they figured they'd try to scare us with global warming, instead.
Even MSM conspiracies are cyclical......
Doomed. We're dooomed, I tell ya...

See? Nobody ever wanted to listen to me, but I told them: "Repent before Global Cooling destroys us all!"
So the headline should be: "Global Warming To Cause Ice Age"...only to a liberal would this make sense!
Me too. I was getting warmer before I cooled off.
Blaziing hot today, freezing cold tomorrow. Typical south Texas weather forecast. ;)

I click on him, and he isn't banned. Did you lose your magical powers?
It's not a double post, it's just a stutter. :)
It's the White Witch wot done it, plunging Narn...er...Europe into a 100 year winter, and without Christmas too. Tsk, tsk.

Did y'all ever look at how hard it would be to check new headlines posted against the last week or so's headlines and blocking duplicates to cut on the aggravation factor for the mods?

Europeans may end up freezing in their own special, little H#ll....and we're supposed to be concerned about that?
Islamics protest.
There, I've said too much...
It's true! It's really, really true!
(I love this thread it has all the ingredients of a classic.)
Bye bye! We hardly knew ye!
(Do you have a rogue mod? Should we send reinforcements for you?)
Am I in before the Zot?
Ah crap, so much for the value of my beachfront cabana up north of Caribou, Maine.

For a small fee I can get you the password of another Freeper, screen name MD something sound good?
Enjoy your brief stay.

Maybe he can change his sreen name to uh, say A+ Bert or ASH or something like that. You'd think these newbies would learn.
(I had the entire paragraph written below before I went back and read the comments). Anyway, it should be noted that network news newsrooms eat this stuff up because their employers will be able to sell another round of schlock teotwawki mini-series to the easily amused public. It all feeds the upon itself.
Even the scientists and researchers who are debunking global warming are in agreement with those researchers who support global warming theories when it comes to the North Atlantic Gulf Stream shift. The Gulf Stream shift is a well known and well documented cycle that has affected human societies in western and northern Europe, Iceland Greenland and north eastern North America for millenia.

Scratch all of what I just wrote. What I meant to say is all this global warming poppycock is poppycock.
I attempted to nuke this troll twice but the lightening bolts coming from my keyboard backed me off.
I gave up.
Does this mean you have to kill the mods?
That's going to get messy....
*Moves back, out of ZOT-range*
*Chmabers 50 caliber round* We have no target. Repeat who actually got zotted?
As I always say, "Chili today, hot tamale."
Couldn't have said it better myself... or maybe I did! Mwu-ha-ha-ha-ha-haaaaaaaaaa.

I hear he's got connections...Not a good idea to be hot to zot in this case. The Kitties are in a holding pattern, awaiting instructions.
Seriesly, keep up the good work Jim, this place keeps me sane!
