Urgent - britain to freeze due to death of the gulf stream

Thanks Ash, great post. Best to warn everyone. I would also suggest the following feature length documentary

At least with this theory, you will be proved right in only a few months. Then all those doubters can come back on here (Assuming they manage to survive) and grovel at your feet. I look forward to that day.

When this goes off, expect the global population to fall to less than 100,000 from it's current 6.5 billion.

Well thats positive!

Britian is heading into colder winters due to the dilution of the Gulf Stream from the melting poles (ice caps), nothing to do with the oil spill (AFAIK).

Never mind the windmills will generate the power to keep us cosy. Notice the steady winds across Britain the last few days which will ensure MW are generated at rates too cheap to measure? Oh, wait...

let's not forget though that about 3 winters ago it was unusually mild. i remember there was a fear of malaria due to mosquitos not being killed off and i also saw a dandelion in full bloom on a walk by the river lee in january. maybe it was the gulf stream's last gasp.

-15 at night isn't that cold -15 during the day and -30 at night is.

here's a link to the scaremongering over warm winters following the mild winter of 2007

Paul Pearce-Kelly, senior curator of invertebrates at the Zoological Society of London, explained: 'It's the combination of wet weather followed by warmer conditions that encourages the greater numbers.
'Changing weather patterns and milder winters are creating conditions more favourable to mosquito breeding.
'We are seeing a trend of an increasingly favourable climate here to mosquitoes.
'Normally the biting winters in Britain would kill everything off, but now we are seeing much milder conditions which means we are becoming more vulnerable to these pests.

Thanks, OP. You obviously don't give a sod for my BP shares.

The Gulf Stream has not stopped. Is not frozen.

Britain is actually doomed because of the Cumbre Vieja volcano on La Palma, which when it erupts will cause so huge a land-slip that a tsunami the like of which no-one has ever seen will wipe us all out.

A knowledgable friend in the Canary Islands tells me it'll happen at 3.25pm this Saturday afternoon.

(If wet, probably Monday morning then.)

This is far better than Asheron's post and very good news for the bears, but I still think a comet colliding with the earth is better as there is no chance of survival. The bears will certainly have the last laugh at the bulls if that happens.

I think asteroid/comet impact are likely to happen in the same kinda of timescale as Yellowstone, one things for sure because of hysteria and panic you ain't ever going to know it until it happens.

This is one of the reasons why man made global warming is given such widespread media time, it masks peak oil perfectly as in it gets people thinking but doesn't instill panic. Man made global warming is bollox.
