Much of this article is about the threat to the gulf stream [with a good emplanation of why it is an issue]. It certainly made me think that we'd be better preparing for more Labradorean weather than for grape growing in the longer term -so now could be the time to consider taking courses on dog-sledging. Still it's one way to get Britain to perform better in winter olympics. It would also be likely to dissuade migration of climatically-displaced people into the UK and the knock on effects of that would be less work force when our population is at its oldest ... Perhaps there are other actuarial issues but those are the ones that occur to me.
