Could the UK actually get colder with global warming?

Could the UK actually get colder with global warming?
 
Of all the possible climate futures, there's a scenario where the United Kingdom and north-west Europe buck the trend of global warming and instead face plunging temperatures and freezing winters.

It's not the most likely outcome, but a number of scientists fear that the chance of it happening is growing, and that the consequences would be so great that it deserves proper consideration.
 
They are concerned that the ocean currents that bring warm water from the tropics to the North Atlantic could weaken - or even collapse - in response to climate change.

Huge uncertainties remain about when - or even whether - a collapse could happen. So, how likely is it, and what would it mean?

Sure, if you don't believe in "global warming." :whistle:
