Cheerio Frosty England!

Forget chainsaw massacres, forget lunatics in masks who kill babysitters; forget aliens ripping out of guts and definetly forget a state visit by the American President.

If you want to be horrified, watch Horizon.

If I were straight, I would be feeling torn right now about having children. I would be terrified of bringing a human being onto this planet, when Britain is heading for ice age, Central America will become grasslands, and Asia will lose its monsoons. I'll stick with my original plan of adopting and becoming the coolest gay dad in town. And I'll always remind my adopted children that they must not reproduce.

I will begin a tradition in my family, a tradition of adoption. I'll play Bjork in the mornings, when the kids are eating their cornflakes and dancing around the table. We'll form a small community of like-minded people in Brazil's countryside, raising our adopted children who, in their turn, will also adopt. We'll try to stop reproduction. If the mystics from Brazilia are right, and Brazil is the country of the future (where all the survivors of the 21st century will be) then I'll be safeguarding my children's lives by moving there.

Question: If America is so knowledgeable about global warming, has all the specialists who know how our world is going to shit, why is their government blocking any changes??? Madness...

this show Horizon is a very good scientific documentary style show... they showed all the investigations and they convinced me. There's a transcript of the show if you follow my link...

basically, although Britain is in the same latitude (?) as Canada, it has a milder winter (hardly ever snows) because of warm currents that come from the Caribbean (this current is called the Conveyor Belt). When this current goes past England, it begins to cool down as it reaches Greenland, becomes denser and returns to the Carribean. But now, with global warming, Greenland is melting and, therefore, the Conveyor Belt is no longer as dense and therefore close to stopping alltogether. When this happens, there won't be as much warm winds coming our way and the winters will become more like Canada - something the British are not prepared for.

that's true as well! They studied deposits of ice in Greenland that were buried over time... and through these deposits they discovered that our planet has a history of shifting dramatically to new weather conditions, as opposed to the once believed idea that it's a gradual thing.
