Has anyone heard any more about the cold water 'chimneys' that fed the Labrador current (I think) from the Arctic ice cap. They were supposed to be disappearing with the expected effect to be a weakening of the Gulf Stream that gives the British Isles its tenmperate climate - BTW, looking back to the old school days of A level exams for a moment, and one geography question in my paper was: 'Britain doesn't have a climate, only weather - discuss' You don't have to stay here long to know how true that is - but if the Gulf Stream weakens then we will see less of the 'four-seasons-in-one-day' we enjoy (enjoy?) and more distinct divides between winter and summer - hasn't happened yet though...
