Open discussion of the facts will not be tolerated

I'd quite like it to be a little warmer in the northern hemisphere this winter. Sorry for wanting to be comfortable, not wanting to haemorrhage my cashflow to the energy companies, and condemning the world to the ****.

and this
----------------------------------------http://www.cityam.com/article/1387503110/firms-paid-clock-early-keep-lights is the direct result of all this nonsense See first post It is going to happen and all by demonising CO2 - a trace gas necessary for the whole food chain and consequently all life on Earth. A gas that currently makes up 0.039511% of our atmosphere A gas whose global warming potential is swamped by the self regulating Water Vapour n.b. I not against improving air quality. I would much rather my atmosphere contained trace amounts of CO2 than any amount of iodine-131, caesium-134 and caesium-137 for instance Make it a great day Dave |

If the world is coming to an end in 60 years Urban Peasant it isn't and you should Your lungs were not designed to inhale copious amounts of toxic carcinogenic particulates created by setting fire to and sucking on a paper stick that is filled with dried leaves. But it's a free world  Dave p.s. Having had pneumonia I can assure you that breathing is grossly underrated Dave (again) [Edit 2 times, last edit by David Autumns at Dec 24, 2013 5:24:24 PM] |

It's the Winter Solstice (in the northern hemisphere)
----------------------------------------The shortest day of daylight (thank goodness) From Sunrise to Sunset we have 7 hours and 22 mins where I live under a cloudy sky. Sunset 3:45pm Anyone living inside the Arctic Circle will not see the Sun all day At the other end of the World its the longest day and anyone living inside the Antarctic Circle will not see the Sun set But for the vast majority of us that distant Summer is on it's way back For those like me who miss the Sun check this out http://sdo.gsfc.nasa.gov/data/SDO_Self_Updating_6.htm Also this works http://www.philips.co.uk/c/light-therapy/38702/cat/ Dave [Edit 1 times, last edit by David Autumns at Dec 21, 2013 8:45:00 AM] |

Google today has another 'doodle' proclaiming the 'First Day of Winter'.
But is it not really the first day of Spring, from midnight? Incidentally, it appears from a recent reading of the ship's log of Cook's explorations that 'Ship Time' ran from noon to noon, not midnight to midnight as we land-lubbers currently do. |

Meteorologically speaking
----------------------------------------Winter is defined as the months of December, January and February Spring is March, April and May If only the 21st of December was the first day of Spring Cannot wait to see |
