Oh yep, the climate is changing, in fact, if you take a look at Al Gores movie about wind changes and how it affects the ice caps, you'll see that if what he presented is fact, and the winds are changing, combined with/supported by this new research, then it's perfectly plausible that the southern areas of the earth are going to get colder as the northern areas get hotter.

If we accept this theory, then it's really just a question of how quickly these changes will occur, not if they're occuring.
