I've read speculation that one effect of global warming could be to disrupt 
the Gulf Stream, thus causing the UK to get much colder and destroying one 
of Britain's remaining good points, its favorable climate for gardening.  I 
trust that LBO special correspondent J. Heartfield will keep us posted on 
developments one way or the other.
