Tornado Hits North London !

No I think it is our problem. The ice caps are melting at an alarming rate, the oceans currents are shifting as we speak at a faster rate. If the Gulf Stream moves just a bit, it will effect the worlds climates.

This is our problem and we need to do something to fix this now...

The gulf strean is changing as we speak the arctic ice pack is retreating and as result the cold water from the Arctic is now forcing the gulf stream south

Thats what I said. We need to realize that we are causing this and we need to do something about it now before it really bites us in the ass.

Some of the most dramatic reports come from the polar regions, which are warming faster than the planet as a whole and have lost large amounts of ice in recent decades. The Arctic sea ice, covering an area roughly the size of the United States, shrunk by an estimated 6 percent between 1978 and 1996, losing an average of 34,300 square kilometers-an area larger than the Netherlands-each year.

The Arctic sea ice has also thinned dramatically since the 1960s and 70s. Between this period and the mid-1990s, the average thickness dropped from 3.1 meters to 1.8 meters-a decline of nearly 40 percent in less than 30 years.


The Arctic's Greenland Ice Sheet-the largest mass of land-based ice outside of Antarctica, with 8 percent of the world's ice-has thinned more than a meter per year on average since 1993 along parts of its southern and eastern edges.

The massive Antarctic ice cover, which averages 2.3 kilometers in thickness and represents some 91 percent of Earth's ice, is also melting. So far, most of the loss has occurred along the edges of the Antarctic Peninsula, on the ice shelves that form when the land-based ice sheets flow into the ocean and begin to float. Within the past decade, three ice shelves have fully disintegrated: the Wordie, the Larsen A, and the Prince Gustav. Two more, the Larsen B and the Wilkins, are in full retreat and are expected to break up soon, having lost more than one-seventh of their combined 21,000 square kilometers since late 1998-a loss the size of Rhode Island. Icebergs as big as Delaware have also broken off Antarctica in recent years, posing threats to open-water shipping.

The disappearance of Earth's ice cover would significantly alter the global climate-though the net
effects remain unknown. Ice, particularly polar ice, reflects large amounts of solar energy back into
space, and helps keep the planet cool. When ice melts, however, this exposes land and water surfaces that retain heat-leading to even more melt and creating a feedback loop that accelerates the overall warming process. But excessive ice melt in the Arctic could also have a cooling effect in parts of Europe and the eastern United States, as the influx of fresh water into the North Atlantic may disrupt ocean circulation patterns that enable the warm Gulf Stream to flow north.

I have the perfect answer to Global Warming...cancel it out with Nuclear Winter!

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Yeah thats real ****ing great there Chief....

[the lancaster kicks ass]

wow ****ing is allowed on the site

The Winter here in Alberta has been the coldest its ever been in 47 years i swear to god, if that is to be the true answer, i swear to god im coming back a mutants and im going to use youre testicals as eye ball


But thank god no one was hurt, i remember when a tornado struck Edmonton in '87 , 27 people were killed, it was an F4 Tornado,


Then there was the Pine Lake, Alberta Tornado that killed 12 people just 6 years ago, yeah Alberta weather sucks ass, we rarely get tornadoes but when we do, they really ****ing suck


Like i said thank god nobody was killed in North London
