Much more of the icecap of Greenland has thawed than ever before this summer, and the glaciers are letting loose.

Very frightening, this could change the Gulf Stream with disasterous results for us in NW Europe. Our climate could be like New York or worse as we are further north. I'm glad I haven't got too long to go now!  |

We always thought Greenland had an eternal icecap on it... Guess those were the old days...  |

Mossie, I don't know where you live, but without the Gulf Stream, much worse than that. I live in Montréal, which used to have very severe winters (and sometimes still does, other years, unusually milde ones) and we are considerably south of Paris, more like Bordeaux or Lyon.
Simply look on a map and follow the latitudes!

Yes Lagata, I live in East Anglia, that unsightly bulge on the east side of England. I realise that the general border between Canada and the US is 49 N and we are 52 N It would come as a very nasty shock to us, especially as we are likely to be short of power as our dozy politicians cannot see beyond the next election  |
