I don't think you quite understand Lawrence,

If the Ross Ice Shelf collapses in the same way that the
Larsen B ice shelf did, and the West Antarctic ice sheet
slides into the sea after it, then the ice cream salesmen
on our beaches will be in trouble, along with many Londoners,
especially those with beach houses in Sanbanks, Poole.

Cheers, Alastair.

Alastair and Peter. "There is a tide in the affairs of men" and in our life
times and beyond-it's not going to change by very much. The ice cream
salesmen of our British coastal towns are safe.

Alastair. Waiting for signs of GW or GC is like "Waiting for Godot" (I'm
being generous here) The truth is, much ain't really changed really....
has
it?

Climate does not change slowly, it changes in jumps. We first found
that out in the 1970s from ocean sediment cores and other
paleoclimatic evidence. It was later confirmed in the 1990s
by ice cores from Greenland. The lack of a steep change
in temperature is quite consitent with that evidence. A sudden abrupt
rise, which will happen without warning, is the most likely outcome of
our increasing the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide by over 30%.

HTH,

Cheers, Alastair.
