[QUOTE]Originally posted by Da_bang80: [QB] http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/11079935/ "Many scientists are also worried about a possible collapse of the Atlantic thermohaline circulation, a current that brings warm surface water to northern Europe and returns cold, deep-ocean water south. Hans Joachim Schellnhuber, who directs Germany's Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, has run multiple computer models to determine when climate change could disrupt this "conveyor belt," which, according to one study, is already slower than it was 30 years ago. According to these simulations, there is a 50 percent chance the current will collapse within 200 years." Makes me wonder if The Day After Tomarrow movie's going to come true. The superstorms and instant freeze isn't likely to happen. I've noticed that this winter has been significantly warmer than even just 5 years ago. The coldest it's gotten was -25 Celsius. That's usually a warm day for most of the winter. The average this year has been around -10 and -20 Celcius. Not that I'm complaining, 5 years ago the temperature used to hover between -30 and -40 which is generally normal for Saskatchewan, and didn't stop people from going about thier business, working, skiing, snowmobiling etc. I know we got people from all over the world here, have you guys noticed any changes in the climate where you live? I'm interested to see what the summer holds for us. the last couple years we didn't have the usual heatwave that came in the last week of August that suspiciously coincides with the closing of the local waterpark...
