Thank god we have AGW ortherwise it would be even colder


Whatever your views on the cause of it, the Arctic is losing a huge
proportion of the ice that it had just 30 years ago, and it's warming three
times faster than the global average. There must come a point where this
has substantial and noticeable effects on our local climate, surely? Maybe
the reduced temperature gradient is letting the jet stream drift further
south and keeping the UK on the cold and messy side of it. What do you
think? Given our latitude, right where the jet stream usually is, this
could make a big difference to our climate. Cooler wetter summers, snowier
winters... something like that.
