No doubt they are playing off the predicted 2 degree per century temperature
rise figure (or whatever it is today), which seems unlikely to allow palm
trees to grow in Finland anytime soon. Anyway, they could just move to a
different country right now if that is what they really want.

Of course, the X degree per century rise is an *average* for the entire
planet, of course some regions are going to increase faster than that and
some slower, maybe even reducing temperature as you suggest.
Hasn't the Gulf stream changed position over the centuries anyway - relying
on it to always stay in exactly the same place seems a bit foolish.
