One of the feared consequences of the current warming trend is the Greenland
icecap melting, changing the mass balance of the Atlantic surface water,
thus upsetting the flow of the Gulf Stream. If that happens, they will be
skiing down to Sicily.

Isn't there a reason it's called Greenland rather than Whiteland?

Eleventh century marketing.

Scientists are now saying that the Earth is reversing it's polarity. All
compasses will wind up pointing south. Imagine what that'll do. The
theory is that the reversing of polarity was the reason that Mars
eventually lost its atmosphere. Oh well.............

Forget that crap, where can I get a reversable compass?

Actually this reversal of polarity has happened many
time in the past. Magnetic ore rocks have recorded this
incident and apparently it has happened when not very
much else happened climatologically and environmentally.

Since this has happened many times, it is suggested
that if it happened or is to happen with apparently
catastrophic results, scientists will probably see
the "results" as coincidental.

Actually it won't matter, as long as you know your
compass will point south instead of north. It'll
be like learning the metric system by throwing away
your imperial measuring devices and buying metric
devices.

What theory is that, pray tell?

No it won't!

OK, smartass, will east and west switch too? Does it rotate or flip?

Nature never flips. Besides, it's already a crap shoot. It's called
magnetic declination.
