Good points. There seems to be a conspiracy by many of the
worlds governments to make their citizenry increasingly stupid.
Dumbing down of education, mass media intended to dazzle the
eyes but uninform, telling the people things are better when
they are worse. I'm sure you've noticed. I think the beer
behaviour indicates they are having some success.

As for glaciers returning to the Lakes, well that's not the
theory I was referring to. The Ice Age cycle takes millions of
years as you know. I'm really referring to global warming and
pollution levels affecting the salination of the oceans. All
that fresh water melting from the poles as a result is diluting
the oceans. There's a natural salinity differential between the
tropics and the northern oceans which drives the Gulf Stream or
North Atlantic Drift currents. Unlike the glaciers, it could
switch off in just a matter of years. Then you people in the UK
are going to start feeling the real temperatures that other
places at the same latitude as yourselves feel without the warm
moderating effects of the Gulf Stream etc.

But you are well informed enough to know these things, right?
