What I intended to write was:
"About 30 years ago, I recall that I made the point that warming could increase the ice-sheet - or diminish it. (Yes, I've been looking at this a long time.)"
You probably read through the error and corrected it for me.
If the Gulf Stream does change direction, there is nothing we can do.
That the surface is warming somewhat is not the issue. It's that an increase in a minor greenhouse gas affects the climate, a dubious proposition at best - but the object of political focus.

Harry and Keith, A somewhat scarier scenario is that the warm currents that flow past Europe from the south Atlantic exist because of the temperature differential and a mere change in ambient water temperatures in the north could cause those currents to stop. Europe is farther north than the US and the result would be to drop temperatures in western Europe significantly.Bill Ward On Mon, 16 Dec 2002 19:27:00 -0800 Harry Pollard <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > Keith, > > About 30 years ago, I recall that I made the point that warming > could > decrease the ice-sheet - or diminish it.
