For example I'd treat Iceland and Mongolia, northern Russia, Sweden, Finland, Norway, north England and Scotland, the bottom of NZ, most of Canada and parts of the USA as risky investments. Gibbston Valley used to be full of glacier, now full of grape vines. Cooling is quick and heating is slow. That's because one snow fall causes a huge amount of reflection of light over a large area, but melting takes place at the edge of hills of ice slowly, inch by inch. The Global Doomsters are keen on feedback loops and runaway heating, but they ignore the much more likely feedback loop of runaway cooling due to reflection from snow and cloud.
