Maybe they can start having "Ice Fairs" again on the Thames.

I noticed there was no tail gate ironing board across the rear of that pickup.

The smart money will be investing in cold weather companies.

Skis, North Face Snow Parkas, Snowmobiles, Snowblowers , and Snow shovels.

I'd remove that ironing board from my truck to save gas except for the fact that I'm averaging 12 mph during my morning commute and I don't think the aero package makes much difference at those speeds.

Dang, I wish I were old enough to retire.

The key words in this story are, "apparently, possibly, could be, some think"

Wasn't there a study reported late last year where a scientist found the thick ice of the Arctic had just moved elsewhere...

[ The weakening, apparently caused by global warming, could herald big changes in the current over the next few years or decades. Paradoxically, it could lead to Britain and northwestern and Europe undergoing a sharp drop in temperatures. ]

Global COOLING ?...
Damn it, are we globally warming or are we globally cooling..
these guys are gonna give me whiplash... trying to keep up..

Eh water vapor plays the biggest role in trapping gases. CO2 doesn't even register compared to that. Man-made global warming is just hot air.

Oh good. I don't like summer anyway.

Me, either. But I've been waiting for "the coming ice age" for about 30 years now! Don't hold your breath. ;-)

It is all Bush's fault!!!

I knew it. He's not traveling in Europe.
He's standing on in the ocean on a raft
and slowing the current with his paddle.

The author forgot to mention that the Thames used to freeze over every winter.
If his theory holds true it sound like the climate in England will only be restored to it's former state.

Stand by for the next trend in enviro-doom-and-gloom:

Global warming OUT
Global cooling IN

Been there. Done that.

No need to replay the seventies...

I can't decide whether I'm responsible for global warming or not.

Don't worry, it's completely my fault.

I guess the Brittish better put in a big order for baby harp seal fur while the getting is good.
