yeah, I remember that. However, since I do not want to pay, so can only read the abstract which said little >>PS: have you informed God about your decision? << No he does not need to since he sometimes mistaken himself as God<g>

DJ, thanks for the link and I'm interested in the Gulf Stream turn-off. Okay, I had the rapid flip right, if for the wrong reason, albedo instead of ocean circulation changes [not that I'm convinced my theory is wrong]. It looks to me as though the Greenhouse Effect doomsters have got a catastrophe looking for a mechanism. Anything we do is bad is the underlying premise and mechanisms are sought to prove that fact. So now we have an ice age instead of runaway heating. Hey, we could have the climatic equivalent of inflationary deflation which maniacs try to claim we might get but they end up waffling about disinflation. Of course money can't be in inflationary and deflationary mode simultaneously. Gloomsters and doomsters aren't stopped by any contradictions like that. So we have runaway greenhouse effect and simultaneously a great new ice age. It will be too hot and too cold simultaneously. Ignoring the flip mechanism, albedo or Gulf Stream, at least the gloomsters and doomsters are on the same page as me now. They have now caught up that the flip will be fast, meaning two years, which would necessitate migration south on a grand scale. Of course there can be two effects; both albedo change and ocean flow change. When? Our NPV needs an answer to when. I noticed in the links that there wasn't a good explanation of why the melting Greenland ice and polar ice cap is a bad thing for the Gulf Stream. There has been vast melting ice from the ice caps as the last ice age melted and the Gulf Stream stayed in business. If the last vestiges of the ice age fizzle out, I don't see why that would stop the Gulf Stream. Can you explain that? You might make a convert. I'll flip over to the Gloomster and Doomster camp. Just in case, I live in the middle of the Pacific Ocean at a latitude about that of Morocco and 60 metres above sea level to avoid small tsunamis. I'm tempted to move to Bangalore, which is warmer and 1 km high and has cleansing monsoons, but the crowds could turn to carnage if all hell broke loose and a global population drop was happening due to environmental catastrophe. I suppose buying some Australian desert and moving to higher ground there would be my best bet. Mqurice
