Lawrence yes I do and what's more I think the answer lies in understanding
the
ocean and therein lies the problem as data are very scant deep down. SSTs
are a
product of many processes and the warming in Arctic regions in recent
years to
my mind has been fast - too fast maybe for planetary stability and with
instability comes change, often quickly.
OK all very hand-wavey and unscientific but I am becoming very concerned
myself
now that we may be underestimating the extent, effects and rapidity of
climate
change globally and in the UK.

Will. The evidence for such "flips" from ice core data etc.
have show generally (as far as I know) rapid movement to colder regimes. As
it seems without doubt? that this has happened in the past (ten year periods
of extreme change I've read in some examples) so it can happen again!
I know it's a tad embarrassing making such statements (a bit like David
Steel's "prepare for power") But do you feel that if this does or is
happening. Which way do you feel the climate may move?
