Britain Set For Worst Winter in Half a Century

Took your time to exert control over this story.

Can't be bothered to look it up, however not long ago I stated that for my generation, for rich countries in temperate zones, GW is likely to be net positive in our lifetimes. If this is the limit of your concern, then sleep tight ....

This is an open forum, by characterising the posting of a pertinent link as 'exerting control' you expose yourself as paranoid, insecure and uncertain of the strength of your argument.

This is unsurprising as, while the author of this un reviewed piece has gone through the academic rigour required to earn himself a PhD, his doctorate is in Electrical Engineering, so it's unclear why he should be granted any unusual credence on the topic of CO2 fertilisation.

Before this is denounced as mere ad hominem ( which works both ways btw) let me point out that this line of argument is not exactly new, nor exactly unaddressed:

Freeze to death or get eaten by scrotes in the UK t's not much of a choice

A swans gotta do what a swans gotta do.

I wonder how accurate the 'swan - o meter' is, as a forecaster for winters

[EternalOptimist]

Dunno, but it's cold outside, no kind of atmosphere.

And almost at the brass mauve monkey testicular problem stage.

Brrrr.

Time to dig out the electrick blanket.

I wouldn't rely on the lekkie if I was you.

throw another greenie onto the fire

Without reading his Doctoral paper it's unwise to jump to conclusions his research may have been entirely climate related.
My eldest is doing his PhD as part of the School of Mechanical Engineering and he's got his MEng well under way. The thing is he's a Biomedical Scientist, has no Mech Eng skills at all, but when awarded, his PhD will be Mech Eng as well, they're researching biomed technology.
Does that mean he's a biologist or a mechanical engineer? Ask him and he'll tell you he's a biologist, but his work has engineering applications which he worked on prior to going back to Uni.
It's far too easy to play at the discredit the man game in this whole web of lies, allegation, political posturing and money which is "climate change".
