Global Warming is Going to Make Us Freeze!

Or, Britain Freeze, or something along those lines. You see, the Gulf Stream is weakening, and that means less warm water and air from the tropics makes it to northern Europe. Consequently, things up there get colder. All of this the Guardian calls "a consequence of global warming."

Please feel free to blither now.

I'm no physicist, but I'm pretty sure that increased temperature means that stuff has more energy, and stuff that has more energy moves around more. So if Global Warming is so runaway and unstoppable, shouldn't the Gulf Stream be strenghtening?

We're rapidly reaching the point where we could have comets hurtling at the earth in synchronized-swimmer formation and people would find a way to link it to "global warming." It's the bogeyman caused by Society's Evil, a secular Anti-Christ if ever there was one.
