You live in a most interesting world. Do they require visa's for entry?
An American Express might work ....

Not here in Greenwich - it's the original Garden of Eden, and Birthplace

Man. Even at the most extreme time of the Ice Age, Greenwich Park and the
area for a mile around it was a haven of temperate climate, with apple
trees, sweet chestnuts in abundance, lions lying down with lambs, and so
much milk and honey the local Cro-Magnons had to wear green wellies to
keep
their toes dry.
Apparently even the parts of Britain that were not covered with ice were
unfit for Human habitation up until about 10,000 years ago

I'd have been ok. The ice sheet that covered most of
Britain stopped
about
15 miles north of here, in Finchley.

Marnie,
If it hadn't been for the glaciers retreating, my 1/4 acre here in
Chicago would be under 1,000 feet of ice. Somitmes change
is good to
us, sometimes not so much. Just ask the dinosaurs...

What have the glaciers ever done for us?
With all these glaciers melting I'm hoping one day someone
will find
a frozen Neanderthal - that would almost make it worthwhile.

==============
Oceans warm up as glaciers disappear. As oceans warm up, the air
warms, and there is more climate change. As there is
more climate
change some places get hotter, dryer, and some get
wetter, colder.
Too many degrees of change in one direction or another
leads to deforestation and desertification.
Too much change leads to areas that were once arable
becoming less
arable or unarable. The end result is they are fewer areas
that can
grow food. Less food for the world's population.
But I presume you actually know all that. Or my drastic
simplification of it.
