This is frightening

It might seem hard to believe here in freezing, rain sodden Ireland (Global Warming - The culprit?) but most of North America is sweltering and suffering from a record breaking drought that's causing huge forest fires that have shrouded much of the Eastern half of North America in a dense choking smog and now the latest satellite photographs show this dense choking smog heading across the Atlantic towards us. So I guess we'll all be smelling smoke in a few days. If you want to check it out further go to the link above on IndyMedia UK.

This is what awaits us with global warming. More and more extremes of weather - longer and more severe droughts, more forest, grassland and bush fires, more violent storms, tornadoes and hurricanes, more flooding and possibly even the greatest contradiction of all! - According to some scientists, some parts of the World, instead of heating up with the Greenhouse Effect will instead suffer a mini Ice Age. Western Europe (Ireland included!) is thought to be especially vulnerable to this mini Ice Age because for reasons that would take far too long to explain here, global warming will seriously diminish, if not eliminate totally the Gulf Stream, which keeps our climate free of the extremes experienced elsewhere in the World.
