I said the current was getting slower, not colder.
As an analogy, think of a CPU being cooled with a water pump. What happens when you turn the pump speed down? Less water is moved over the CPU... http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/article520013.ece http://www.netweather.tv/index.cgi?action=cet;sess= It dropped to below -20 deg C in several populated areas of Scotland and below 10C in most of the UK. The average UK temperature was 1.5C in for the whole of Jan and Feb 2010. In UK CET, Jan was 2.54 C colder than average, Feb was 1.06 C colder than average, and so far this month it is 0.86C colder than average. This is exactly what you would expect to see if you look at my fist link. |

Yet another non-scientifically trained writer quoting Biblical passages to support a personal opinion denying the obvious. David, you are wasting our time with this trivia. You should find something better to do with your time? |

Previously when going to fetch fresh Sicilian pizza, I'd march the distance back and we ate them fairly warm slices. Last time I walked having a ... cold, and the pizza was too when it got on the table ergo...?

----------------------------------------We are not "blithely floating through life and apparently happy to be damaging our ecosystem" that is just the point + we're happy to be green and environmentally friendly wherever possible It's just the CO2 thing has got completely out of hand and hopefully - as the post above can attest - some level of sanity can return to how we might make our lifestyles more sustainable One without the stories of erupting clouds of methane incinerating folk as they walk down the street and instead a new hope returning to the youth of the world that they really do have, surprisingly, a great future Dave |

Sarkozy scrapped his carbon tax plan - so what? It was a stupid idea anyway. |

That stupid carbon tax plan is the same one that was bounced about by most governments. Its just a way of getting more money out of our empty pockets and crippling the economies further. They think that if they keep everybody busy trying to pay off the banksters people wont notice job cuts, pension theft, rises in tax, stealth taxes, government corruption and fraud.
They will be trying to tax oxygen next. |
