Re: Not sure how much longer they will be able to keep crunching in the UK

nanoprobe I am sure you are right the years are now flying by

I'm sure it's because a year becomes a less significant part of your life

Going from being aged 1 to aged 2 feels like a lifetime because it was. Going from 45 to 46 not such a big deal biggrin

School clocks certainly ran alot slower than the clock does now in the morning between me draging myself out of bed and presenting myself at work d oh

All of which brings us to the Global Thermometer result for April 2011.

<drum roll please>

After over 7.7 million individual hourly temperature readings from Afghanistan through to Yeman we now have 4 figures for our baseline

January 2011 1.44C
Febuary 2011 2.90C
March 2011 6.98C
April 2011 12.26C

It looks like this (for an expanded view follow this link here)



As you can see it is an unmitigated man made disaster unfolding before our very eyes.....

Re: Not sure how much longer they will be able to keep crunching in the UK

CET 4-2011: 11.8°C. Rank: 1/353
Warmest April in this series was in 2011.
Average last 12 months: 9.63 °C.

biggrin

In the UK after the 2nd coldest December in 352 years we have the warmest April in at least the last 353

I have been lucky enough to capture both on the Global Thermometer



December 2010 5.3C below the 1961-90 average
April 2011 3.8C above the 1961-90 average

Yin and Yang

Here in the UK we have had a very dry start to the year I am expecting at any moment for the UK media and the Met Office to shout "Drought!!" before the newsprint has dried the heavens will open and it won't stop raining for the next 18 months, like last time.

The equilibrium is maintained

We Are Supposed To Be Alarmed By This?
Posted on May 3, 2011 by stevengoddard

Temperatures declining since 2001. Sea level no higher than five years ago. Arctic ice growing since 2007. Record winter and spring snow. No hurricanes in almost three years in the US. http://stevengoddard.wordpress.com/2011/05/03...ed-to-be-alarmed-by-this/

Re: Not sure how much longer they will be able to keep crunching in the UK

Hi Gerald

I smiled when I saw that link yesterday

Right on cue the "drought" has ended biggrin

http://meteox.com/h.aspx?r=&jaar=-3&soort=loop1uur

At least that explains the monster headache I woke with this morning

The smell of the rain infused with blossom

Bliss

Re: Not sure how much longer they will be able to keep crunching in the UK

You couldn't make it up

http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2011/may/01/centrica-threatens-shut-morecambe-gas

This increased revenue take (which we will pay for indirectly) was to reduce our petrol fuel duty by 1p/litre which means we now pay "only" £1.35-9/litre which is $8.47 per gallon US.....bargain ;-)

Crunching like crazy while I still can

I really feel for you and the patriots in GB--i don't understand why the people aren't in the streets protesting--i do hope this doesn't affect our crunching--they are trying to increase the electricity rates another 8% after 2 years ago 18%

Re: Not sure how much longer they will be able to keep crunching in the UK

What about Climate Change


So what is the story on global warming? Is it man made or is it a natural occurring cyclic thing caused by sunspot activity?. An inconvenient truth about a book written by Al Gore with the same title reveals that he relies on the conclusions of a survey by history instructor Naomi Oreokes. In the survey she cherry picked 928 papers taken from what is reported to be respected scientific journals and claims that this represents the “universe of scientific literature.”

Actually, about eleven thousand articles were available at the time and the 928 papers represent less than one-tenth of them. A closer look at the 928 papers reveals that they do not even mention man made global warming, let alone confirm the alarm of the drastic conclusions of the environmentalists project. Most of the papers did not produce any conclusions at all. Some merely assumed that rising CO2 levels from burning hydrocarbons would affect climate without any research findings. A British scientist states that only 13 of the papers actually fit the “consensus‘ ” view.

When we blindly accept the theory of Man made Climate Change we come to flawed conclusions, the result of which has been spending billions of dollars unnecessarily on inconvenient lifestyle altering changes.

The truth is this; it is all about control. Proponents of global warming are intent on regulating everything in our lives, based upon unproven science. This is not only something that will happen in the future, it is already present in the form of Sustainable Development espoused through county and city Comprehensive Plans.

Re: Not sure how much longer they will be able to keep crunching in the UK

Some people are idiots

http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/healt...nd-leukaemia-2280342.html

Their reasoning....

The scientists found just 20 cases between 1969 and 2004 among children living within 5km of a nuclear power plant, and 430 cases of the disease in children living within 25km

----

area of a circle pi * radius squared

----

Area of a 5Km radius circle 78.54 sq kms 20 cases

1 case per 3.93 sq km

Area of a 25km radius circle 1963.49 sq km 430 cases

1 case per 4.56 sq km

therefore the closer you live to an operational nuclear plant the more likely the incidence of leukaemia and other cancers

The maths does not lie

Journalists and Scientists with vested interests do to enable Governments to continue to support the unsupportable
