It's going to overheat first, just long enough for the folks there to spend billions of £ installing air conditioners, and then it's going to be plunged into a localized ice age.

It seems to me that the newer the research is the sooner the estimates seem to be getting, so my money is on a collapse before 2050 and I wouldn't be surprised at all if it happens within a decade.
