Global warming bring it on.

Answer 1

What I read was that global warming could cause the ocean currents to slow or even stop, which would actually cool a large part Europe.  I'm sure this is one of the topics in this section of Answers that has only been addressed like four or five hundred times already, though.

Answer 2

I heard a year or two ago that London was experiencing a record-breaking heat swelter during the summer. So, to answer your question, it already has kicked in.

Answer 3

Me and my Buick Roadmaster Estate Wagon are doing our best to warm things up for you.

Answer 4

Britain faces big chill as ocean current slows

Jonathan Leake, Science Editor

CLIMATE change researchers have detected the first signs of a slowdown in the Gulf Stream — the mighty ocean current that keeps Britain and Europe from freezing.

They have found that one of the “engines” driving the Gulf Stream — the sinking of supercooled water in the Greenland Sea — has weakened to less than a quarter of its former strength.

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.

Such a change has long been predicted by scientists but the new research is among the first to show clear experimental evidence of the phenomenon.

shame eh? especially as you think its a big joke. good luck mate and maybe you should move to the caribbean cos ya not gonna get warm ever in the uk

Answer 5

I wish we could control the weather, but we can't.

But we'll keep burning oil since that is the fuel of progress.

Answer 6

It already has.  Look at all the records that are coming in, in the weather.  Expectually in the last 3 years.

And please don't call us yanks.  I don't know about the rest of the US but in the upper east coast, even though we are yanks because America was founded there, I find it annoying and sort of offensive.  Trust me, if you were in NJ and you call someone a yank, you'll get beat up.
