Worst winter weather for at least 30 years and it's only the 7th January.

Low temperature records being smashed across the Northern Hemisphere

In light of the alleged Man Made Global Warming

I'd say very surprising


another day of below zero it's -7C outside at 10am

What happened to our alliterative warmer wetter winters?

Just how many Hurricanes did make landfall in the States in 2009?


Our Climate is not under our control

Maybe all of the agreed to actions at COP15 have had an immediate effect on our Climate

But much more likely.......It's the Sun


Wrap up warm folks and keep that cruncher crunching (if you have an electricity supply that is still working in spite of the weather)


Yours

Dave "I've got man flu" Autumns

p.s for anyone who watches a UK TV weather forecaster at work

Are they under strict instructions not to mention just how many years have passed since we have had a similarly bad winter

It's just "a number of years" or "in past decades"

What do you think?

Yep Eso

Is 2010 the warmest year on record predicted by the very same UK Met Office that predicted in 2009 a "Barbeque Summer" or this years Winter to be a mild one once again after last years fiasco

Is that the very same UK Met Office that spore Hadley CRU and is by it's own admission the mouthpiece for the advancement of the theory of Man Made Global Warming, adviser to the UK Gov and the UN's Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change

That Met Office

btw it is so much easier to make 2010 the warmest year on record if you are in charge of applying the appropriate fiddle factor


Me I prefer to deal in reality

A reality that is producing an appallingly bad winter across the Northern Hemisphere in 2010


One not predicted by your CO2 Theory

It's a travesty that you are not able to show the warming

Remember that Hockey Stick graph we are all on the way up? Remember all those much more intense and frequent Hurricanes we are on the receiving end?
Remember the inexorable decline of the Polar Ice Caps?



Yep I remember 2005 too

Saying that there is no Global Warming because it is cold is like saying there are no Trucks on the road because the magazine is called Car and Driver. If the term had been 'Global Cooling', the same people that deny the obvious changes in climate would still deny it because it is not cool. Let me just head off the idea of using the title 'Global Changes' because the same naysayers would deny the truth if the temperature was the same for 2 days in a row.

The term Global Warming is a label, a term, a title. It is also used to describe a climate phenomena where 40 years ago I could play outside with no shirt and no sunscreen and get a minor 1st degree burn and today in the same location I would get 2nd degree blisters if I was out for the same length of time.

Those denying the obvious are free to state their opinion, but they have no science that backs them. They obfuscate the truth and subvert science and are still unable to prove their invalid opinions. Keep those opinions and charts coming because WCG seems to have unlimited disk space to store what some call proof there is no Global Warming, but I call it drivel.

Nevertheless it bothers me that a large group of people can come together to work on solving Aids, Cancer, Denge fever and MD but some of those members have to insert into that community a highly charged argument on something that has no benefit to WCG. To the point that the argument causes people to lose their composure and a sense of respect for others, and even go so far as to mask the benefits of being a cruncher.

Dear astrolab

This thread raises an issue that has consequences for all Mankind and is key to technological progress and the Number Crunching Giant that is the World Community Grid

If the we are all doomed CO2 brigade have their way there will be no scientific breakthroughs in all of the area's of research the WCG is able to contribute to today.

The carbon debits and the climate change levies and wrong decision making on our energy supplies that the we are all doomed CO2 brigade have already rained down on us has (without a doubt in the UK and Europe) stifled the altruistic potential

It has given those in power the means to reintroduce Nuclear Power and the means to talk about Population Control and at the same time removed the right of anyone the decency of raising any negative connotations about both issues - something I personally feel very strongly about.

So without a doubt this thread, it is not a debate, belongs here on the WCG

** ignore what is unfolding before our very eyes you are more than welcome to keep them tightly shut


Hypernova I'm with you all the way on being environmentally friendly and using renewable energy sources

It's the negative consequences of the we are all doomed CO2 brigade without the scientific proof that's my beef

......are you ready?

Goebbels would have been astounded at the sheer audacity

-10C in Brussels overnight


Wrap up warm folks and make today a great day
