. . .and the next moment we're hearing about how
Global Warming really does exist.
~sigh~
It said in the article that Global Warming might not be a slow and gradual thing like it was supposed to be. In theory, it was going to be happening slowly over the next century or so. According the article, it is going to happen in the next decade or two. Yeah.
And what could happen really? Well, two major things; really long droughts and extensive flooding. Well, where I live, we're about 14 inches under for our yearly rainfall amount. But then again, it has also rained for the last 3 or 4 days. That won't help a lot, but you can probably see where I'm going with that. And if you can't, well bleah.
The article says that the Gulf Stream could be
reversed. The Gulf Stream is a current of warm air that keeps the temperatures in Northern Europe temperate. If the Gulf Stream were to reverse, then Northern Europe could get significantly colder.
What? Like the UK isn't cold and wet enough already? Really, I can't say anything about that. I've never been there. But you could ask my
mom. She's been to England and France, I think.
