[The Earth Axis is currently tilted 23.4 degrees,
or about half way between its extremes,
and this angle is very slowly decreasing
in a cycle that spans about 41,000 years.
It was last at its maximum tilt about 10,700 years
ago and will reach its minimum tilt about
9,800 years from now.]

this seems like old news.

I'd be more concerned about the magnetic poles flipping

I heard something about this ‘shift’ yesterday on the radio .. the guy said that as a result , for example , Scotland was higher now than ever before …

No idea what that means though

they have talked about this since the 60's, some were saying it was a result of the nuclear bomb tests

It means virtually nothing.

The only thing that would quickly & massively affect the climate in the UK is if the Gulf Stream is disrupted.

Which is of course, perfectly possible.

Hasn’t the Gulf Stream froze / paused a few times for a short time .. already

It does and has always fluctuated but it's been more unstable and less predictable post-industrial-revolution and continues to degrade. If the current was to be disrupted entirely it would alter the weather patterns of a large chunk of the world (UK/Western Europe and West Africa would be hardest hit, but also all of the Americas, notably the east coast of South America).

The Gulf Steam is directly influenced by atmospheric CO2 levels which do also fluctuate naturally, but currently roughly 33% (1/3) of atmospheric CO2 is due to human industrial and commercial activity.

In other words, upcoming climate change is very real and if not "man made", definitely accelerated by our activities (by potentially thousands of years). Would the same thing have happened eventually? Probably yes, but not for many hundreds of years. As for when it actually will happen, that's not really predictable either. It could be in a few decades, it could be 100+ years when none of us are around to know about it, so we might never get to tell the climate-skeptics "I told you so". They don't really understand small statistical changes. If they can't look out their window and see that something is different, then it isn't happening.
