Global warming does not mean increased temperatures, it means climate change. For the UK the predictions are colder winters and more rain in the summer.
Where did you get that info from - I thought milder winters are predicted.

As I posted earlier, (but seems to have been deleted), "climate change" is simply a catch-all phrase to hide the fact that the global warming predicted is not taking place. The climate has been changing for over 100 million years, and the comparitive data available for modern studies is barely a blink of an eye in that time scale. We are basing claims of "fastest temperature rise ever" on a fraction of the worlds climate history, and it appears that much of the evidence to support those tenuous claims is of dubious provenance anyway.

I don't know how they can say fastest global changes EVER?
They've only been keeping records for the last couple of
hundred years.
World record conclusion jumping?

I blame the Ffrench for the shortage of De-icing fluid.
They used to have a MASSIVE taxi-through de-icing rig
at CDG.
Is it still there I wonder?

There's an article on the BBC website about the effect of climate change on the Gulf Stream which concludes;

The IPCC believe it is very likely that the Gulf Stream will slow down during the 21st Century but very unlikely it will undergo a ‘large abrupt transition’. The average reduction predicted by the various models used is 25%. This slowing will have a cooling effect but the temperature will still increase in the region overall. It suggests that the British Isles, especially western regions, will see a significantly smaller temperature increase than other areas of land mass.
I don't know if that contradicts other predictions, but even if not it softens them.
