For some time I've been trying to embed a particular video in the vid section but either the embed code doesn't work or there's an issue with tring, not sure which, it's available on google vids, but not in their video arm, i.e. you tube, and until today their uploader for files longer than 15 minutes and or up to 2GB has been down. Today that facility came back to life, but it now has a much smaller running time limit - so here's the link if you'd like to check this - it's called
"Future Focus - The Gulf Stream and the next Ice Age" and I describe it as so -

Since the 1990's informed science has warned that Global Warming is the trigger, the next ice age is going to be the problem. This video updates and offers up the mechanism and the full consequences .

a video in three parts "Hot Climate - Cold Comfort" When Global Warming melts enough fresh water from the ice caps, the conveyor will switch off, and a mini Ice Age will hit the Northern hemisphere

Herewith quite a comprehensive article in the Economist on the need for adaptation strategies rather than mitigation.

It's among the first in the mainstream to say openly that 'we've already failed' to keep carbon emissions below 2 degrees.
