An article in the Independent suggests that there may soon be a need for Igloos in Hereford?:
“Scientists have long expected that global warming could, paradoxically, cause a devastating cooling in Europe by disrupting the Gulf Stream, which brings as much heat to Britain in winter as the sun does: the US National Academy of Sciences has even described such abrupt, dramatic changes as ‘likely’. But until now it has been thought that this would be at least a century away.
The new research, by scientists at the Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Acquaculture Science at Lowestoft and Canada’s Bedford Institute of Oceanography, as well as Woods Hole, indicates that this may already be beginning to happen.”
