ICE AGE AVERTED

New Scientist reports on the threat to Europe of a Global Warming induced ice age:
The ocean current that gives western Europe its relatively balmy climate is stuttering, raising fears that it might fail entirely and plunge the continent into a mini ice age.
Scientist Richard Seager reckons that Global Warming will not plunge Europe into a new ice age:
Instead of creating catastrophe in the North Atlantic region, a slowdown in thermohaline circulation would serve to mitigate the expected anthropogenic warming!
If I didn't know better I'd say some of the climate experts have been fear mongering.
