Time for Europe to decide what that means.
I think most Europeans understand even if our leaders are afraid to that a US safety guarantee is no guarantee.

Really ? So what’s the truth, you think ?
Palynological surveys show forest grew in the Peak District, Cumbria, Orkney, the outer Hebrides etc. before the Neolithic farmers arrived.
Extreme examples- Aspen, Shetland, out of reach of sheep, and pollen analysis of cores from a loch bed in Uist

You find deep peat in natural peat bogs on fairly level ground flanked by higher ground. On hillsides you find a thin carpet of peat where former forest soil has washed away when the forest was removed.
This bit of Wester Ross shows what happened naturally on a bit of land freed from grazing.

Incorrect. It happened about 12,900 years ago, it went on c.1,200 years, and while new ice sheets grew in places, pollen surveys show in the west of the emerging British isles, near the sea trees still grew. Most humans would live on coasts now undersea.

The only sector of the population still in favour of Labour is the privately educated. I suppose you better hold onto what vestigial scrap of support you’ve got in the little time the party has left.

By way of a substitute here’s something found on the Isle of Harris in the outer Hebrides a few years ago, and the beach where it was found. You have to source your coffee & sandwich elsewhere ~

It would be nice to be able to say this was bullshit ~
(Another difference between the two events being around ten times more people at the rally)
Still, keep calling all those people fascist thugs and eventually they’ll live up to it.

This is perhaps the main engine of the global thermohaline (ie driven by heat and salinity differentials) current, certainly one of them.
Accelerating melting off Greenland is surely acting as a brake. It’s also rerouting the AMOC to surface further north heating the Arctic.

Sadly the weather update at the bottom right is determined to spoil the good news
The thermometer is plainly a terrorist.
