In houses with single glaze the ice is on the inside. Grow some hair on your chests 😛

I should explain to our poor shivering american frieinds that in Scotland 'central heating' means a bottle of excellent malt whisky. The glazing is on the eyes.

we don't have real winters here anymore though. it's only -5 C and there's hardly any snow. when I was a kid it was -30 practically every winter, with roughly a meter of snow. last year the sea didn't even freeze. now the shallow bays are frozen but nothing else.

No, but vast parts of world including Venice, Netherlands and New York could be flooded and under water soon. Nothing serious, but that's a start. In addition, big parts of US and other countries as well where we grow our food could start turning into desert till end of the century. Now that's what I call economic collaps. Not 1929 or 2008.

Hope you got your thermal undies on under that kilt laddy!

It seems like global warming started to show its consequences by far faster rate then anticipated. And that's not good. But on bright side, sea in Finland could be enough warm to swim in it during summer. 😛

I think it's a normal oscillation between continents.

When Eastern North america gets polar air, Northern Europe is warm, and vice versa. The floodgates have opened up because of a polar vortex parked near Hudson Bay, Canada.. I dont' think it has much to do with the global warming thing.

Now that's what I'm talking about! Nothing like a bit of internal combustion.

Well I hope so, I live in appartment 50 meters from hte sea and altitude is maybe mere 5 meters above it 😛

Many experts have noticed that the Northern polar ice cap has waned, even at record low levels since records began. But this would not lower sea levels, as ice already in the ocean won't change much by melting.

Greenland's ice cap hasn't changed much in 50 years.. Actually, according to Meteorologists, the Southern ice cap in Antarctica hasn't changed at all.

We even had one touch down in freaking Brooklyn a few years back.

At least it was smart enough to stay away from the Bronx. 😉

A F1? In the Bronx? Nah, the Steinbrenners would never settled for a measly F1, would have to be a F3 or better. 😀

that's what we thought in the 90s. then the records kept being broken year after year. stuff that happens once in 50 or 100 years started happening year by year. - the last time the sea didn't freeze was in the 60s I believe, now it looks like it's gonna be the second year in a row. and even before that the need for ice breakers had drastically declined, there just isn't ice like there used to be.

there's not a chance in hell all the numerous long time weather records broken here 2000+ are just normal oscillation.

You shouldn't have bought that 4.0 litre V8 to drive to the shop and back.
