Yet another cold Winter

Global warming is here, experts agree - News - The Independent

"The recent warming has been greatest of the mid-latitude continents in winter and spring," the report says. Britain's experience in recent mild winters fits well with that.

Obviously that evidence was wrong
New evidence suggests that cold winters = global warming

There's nothing wrong with getting the evidence incorrect but there is something wrong with not agreeing with the scientific consensus

I like this one from that article in 1995:

The warming is set to accelerate into and through the next century, with temperature rises faster than any of the past 10,000 years.

...and what was it Phil Jones said recently:

...for the past 15 years there has been no 'statistically significant' warming.

I have had this great idea.

rewrite the Warmists statements, assuming that they have been right all along, but taking all the politics, religion, empire building and spin and crying wolf out of the equation


Phil Jones - 'well we have this model, its been validated by some other models, so we know its right, and it proves that temperatures will go up , but by so little no one will notice. and then they will go down again'

Viner - 'Snow will become a rare event, your children will not know what it is when they see it. Actually I mean your childrens childrens children. And even then it will snow. obviously'

Gore - 'There will be no ice at the North pole in 2013. but hey, thats not so unusual, it happens all the time' , but it will be worse because of agw.

Pachuri - 'The Himalayan glaciers will not melt in 35 years, that was a bit of a mistake, the scientists who pointed it out are not 'voodoo' scientists. But that doesnt mitigate the fact that the Himalayan glaciers will melt sooner with agw, than they otherwise would have. I cant tell you when, because we havnt built a model to tell us just yet.

SaSGoru - Sea levels will obviously rise as the ice melts. just not as much or as fast as has been hyped up. And the negligible increase so far, proves yet again, that I am right. Cretins

I'll let you know how I get on. It should arrive in 2 - 4 days.

My Alaskan blue Slanket arrived today, earlier than predicted by Amazon, as usual.

First impressions: Jeez, this is just a freaking blanket, how do you put it on, how does it do up at the back?

The material is good quality (as far as I can tell) fleece and it's huge, even on my 6'2" frame. Even the sleeves are much longer than my arms. I wouldn't want to go wandering around in it though, unless I wanted to collect a lot of dust and trip over. You put it on by putting your right arm in the right arm hole, when it's facing you, and your left in the left, i.e. opposite of normal, assuming I'm doing it right. A weird feeling, as you feel like a surgeon or a loony asylum inmate*. It does not bode well that I do not have rubber gloves. As it's mostly blanket, it means the back will be open when you put in on, which seems a bit weird, though that's easily rectified as there is spare material to play with. There's even enough to make a hood.

10 minutes after seeing it my view has gone from, oh carp, to hmm, seems okay. 7/10

Edit: 8/10 now.

*Does anyone need operating on?

Good news about the slanket.

Does anyone have a link to one of those real time snow watch web sites? I have googled and am not getting anything good - just some crap twitter mashup nonsense.

Thanks Norr but this looks like a forecast web site. Is there a real time bit I missed?

The do at present time, this one seems to do real time and you can access the various weather stations data
