http://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2013/nov/26/winter-deaths-rose-third
----------------------------------------This piece makes you laugh only in the sense that throughout the discussion on excess winter deaths the emphasis is made that it's not directly correlated with temperature What about the temperature and the cost of keeping warm? |

Utter utter farce
----------------------------------------http://news.sky.com/story/1175864/ministers-to-fund-300m-energy-bill-rebates Do they think they will prevent the backlash when the lights go out with a £12 rebate on an average UK household energy bill (in 2012) of £1,279 ? (equivalent to $2097.56/1547.59€) From the Governments own figures https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-dat...c-energy-price-statistics Rotten to the core Dave [Edit 1 times, last edit by David Autumns at Nov 30, 2013 9:18:57 PM] |

The November 2013 result is in and the average temperature from 2438 NOAA Weather Stations around the Globe was 7.61C
---------------------------------------- The average temperature November 2012 through to the end of October 2013 was 12.361C  Here's another forum friendly sized graph that updates hourly  The graph above is (at this moment in time) the result of 64,453,935 individual temperature measurements taken around the Globe from NOAA Weather Stations since the beginning of 2011  Remember the UN argue about whether the rise by the end of the Century should be allowed to be 1.5C or 2C. And the Scientist claim up to 6C rise by 2100 and Al got his peace prize Dave |

Northern Hemisphere Snow Cover for November 2013
----------------------------------------34,765,000 sq kms (6.8% of the Planet's surface) Average November Northern Hemisphere Snow Cover 33,958,000 sq kms (1981-2010) 806,000 sq kns greater than average (about a Mozambique sized extra bit of Snow) data http://climate.rutgers.edu/snowcover/table_rankings.php?ui_set=1#namgnld All that extra frozen Sun reflecting water must have been created on account of the non-existent trapped heat held in by that transparent blanket - the 0.039366 % concentration of Carbon Dioxide today in our Atmosphere If you think I'm pulling your leg Alarmist Fearmonger then you're not wrong  It's just too easy - with measurable facts on your side  Dave |
