 As you can see an unmitigated climate disaster is unfolding what with it being just like this when I was a kid. This is the Strid near Bolton Abbey I took last Wednesday http://www.boltonabbey.com/highlights_strid.htm I got an unexpected windfall on scrapping my Car due to the current high metal prices so I put another £2 towards it and bought a train ticket to Ilkley (back 'ome) Dave  |

----------------------------------------http://www.boltonabbey.com/pdf/teachers_pack_valley.pdf This is why I don't believe Man is the primary cause of changes in the climate. I spent my childhood in the Yorkshire Dales and the Lake District - you just have to open your eyes to see the reality of changing climates |

Oh marvelous

It has taken them long enough to admit what was clear from the data (or in the case of No1 the lack of a temperature reading from the bottom of the reactor)
