Sea change: why global warming could leave Britain feeling the cold | Climate change | Guardian Unlimited Environment

Apparently it's old news but two years ago the north Atlantic current shut down for 10 days, prompting the comment,
"It only lasted 10 days. But suppose it lasted 30 or 60 days, when do you ring up the prime minister and say let's start stockpiling fuel? How can we rule out a longer one next year?"

It would not only mean cooler weather for Britain [which is on the same latitude as Newfoundland, remember, for climate comparison], but also drier. This really does start to feel scary.
