Watch what happens in this graph just after it turns 01:00 UTC/GMT/ZULU
----------------------------------------You need huge patience to find out the truth  note this data series is preliminary and will be fully audited in those few days between Christmas and New Year. There's a handful of hours missing and some of the stations monitored have gone awol or rogue in the last year that need to be stripped out of the record - so we compare macs with macs and not pc's ;-) Once I have this sorted out then I will be ready with http://www.theglobalthermometer.com so it can be the site I want it to be - complete and fully operational from 01/01/12  Just remember what you will see here in just over 10 mins when those who think they know discuss over the next few days how we might control the apparently inevitable increase in this temperature to between 1.5C or 2C and prevent it rising by as much as 6C over the next 89 years simply by preventing the concentration of a gas in our atmosphere reaching 0.05% (from it's current level of 0.038892%) - the same gas responsible for the entire food chain of Planet Earth. I call it out as group think hysteria and mild insanity but with unnecessary devastating consequences But hey what do I know Let's all attempt to make tomorrow a better day Dave  [Edit 2 times, last edit by David Autumns at Nov 26, 2011 12:59:29 AM] |

Is the global warming scare the greatest delusion in history?
----------------------------------------The scare over man-made global warming is not only the scientific scandal of our generation, but a suicidal flight from reality. To grasp the almost suicidal state of unreality our Government has been driven into by the obsession with global warming, it is necessary to put together the two sides to an overall picture – each vividly highlighted by events of recent days. On one hand there is the utterly lamentable state of the science which underpins it all, illuminated yet again by “Climategate 2.0”, the latest release of emails between the leading scientists who for years have been at the heart of the warming scare (which I return to below). On the other hand, we see the damage done by the political consequences of this scare, which will directly impinge, in various ways, on all our lives. It is hard to know where to begin, after a week which opened with The Sunday Telegraph’s exclusive on a blast of realism from Prince Philip over the folly of our Government’s infatuation with useless windmills. Then came an excoriatory report from the House of Lords on how we have so run down our nuclear expertise that it is doubtful whether we can hope to run a new generation of nuclear power stations. Next, there was a report from a leading Swiss bank finding that the EU’s “emissions trading scheme” has wasted $287 billion (£186billion) over six years – paid by all of us, to achieve nothing in terms of reducing “carbon emissions”. There was also a front page story in another newspaper, warning that (as readers of this column have long been aware) within nine years we could all be paying nearly £300 a year to subsidise solar panels and those same useless windmills. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/comment/columnists...-delusion-in-history.html  |

Hi Gerald
----------------------------------------Yep that's our Great Country (in the EU) I'm pretty sure we are being used as a test bed for the rest of the World. To find out just how far you can run a Country into the ground in the name of Green http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TkZFuKHXa7w Pretty much like Scotland is used as a test bed for crazy UK laws (That should get Whl. riled up ) Dave |

An achingly funny piece in the Guardian
----------------------------------------http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2011/de...ngland-2012?newsfeed=true Comedy Gold Spelman said: "It may have surprised people that we've granted Anglian Water a drought permit in November, but it is a warning of the need to take action now after the country has seen the driest 12 months since records began. "Everyone has worked hard to stave off any threat of hosepipe bans this year, and help keep our rivers flowing. "Unfortunately, if we have another dry winter, there is a high risk that parts of the country will almost certainly be in drought next summer – so it's vital we plan ahead to meet this challenge." She added: "Droughts are not new but we may face a future with less rainfall and less certainty about when that rain will fall." LOL "Everyone has worked hard to....keep our rivers flowing" Loving the punchline She added: "Droughts are not new but we may face a future with less rainfall and less certainty about when that rain will fall." In an age when we know more precisely than at any time in our history exactly where and exactly when the rain will fall from the sky and rest assured as sure as eggs is eggs it will Maybe she lives in the Atacama and experiences the UK only by proxy Dear Caroline Check this out it's awesome http://www.weatherspark.com This is pretty cool too http://www.buienradar.be/h.aspx?jaar=-3&soort=meteox3uur As you can see a huge amount of non-drought should be turning up right about... now Kind Regards Dave [Edit 1 times, last edit by David Autumns at Dec 1, 2011 2:28:23 PM] |
