Global temperature fluctuations have played havoc with this planet since Eve told Adam his retro rhythm rock collection was getting out of hand.

Apparently, according to one study, the arctic ice mass is melting and causing a flood of freshwater to pour down over the North Atlantic. This is pushing the Gulf Stream back, which will result in a Siberia-like climate in the British Isles and there abouts and possibly Northeastern United States.

The Gulf Stream keeps the North Atlantic fairly mild; for example, Iceland temps rarely get into the low teens F. We have already seen some fairly drastic weather in the Northeast U.S. in the past few years.

I don't normally worry about stuff like that, but I read one study that said it could start happening in ten to twenty years. Like the kids say, that would suck.

What can we do about it? That's not my department. I could, however, help out with the Federal and state income tax issues that surely will arise.

Unfortunately, the government will have to get involved if it means relocating population. So when a government agent comes to your door dressed up in arctic cold weather gear and holding a clipboard, and tells you he/she is here to help, tighten your cheeks and grasp your wallet tightly.
