    Likewise,
    people keep telling me that it's going to get sunnier over the next 3-6 months. I don't believe a word of it, because when I looked out of the window at 3:00 this morning it was completely pitch black.

      there is global warming every day from sunrise to sunset and then a furious start of a mini ice age from sunset to sunrise - every change should cause panic and taxation I guess.

        So you (scientists) were completely and absolutely 100% wrong less than 10 years ago, but today, with the complete polar opposite view and "predicitions" you are 100% right?

        Or are you saying you didn't have a clue then and we can put no faith in your "predictions" now?

        In other words, your science is worth and tells us nothing.

          Science moves on. If scientists had all the answers they'd stop.

            And can anyone question any of this ongoing contradiction, or is the science "settled" and we are all akin to holocaust deniers?

                Science is never 'settled'.

                No you are not akin to holocaust deniers. I wouldn't equate a difference of opinion on the causes of climate variations to denying genocide.

                  Brilliant!

                  Win win.

                  Perhaps they'll just flip-flop back and forth to fit the data / weather / climate as they see fit.

                  It's all CO2 innit. Makes it snow, not snow, hot, then cold, then hot, rain then drought, and sometimes it doesn't do anything is all stays the same.

                    God you really are very thick indeed, aren't you?
                    BTW have you immunised your children yet? There are some dissenting voices about child immunization you know.

                      hang on just a minute. I may not be a holocaust denier, but can I at least be akin to a child abuser for flying across the Atlantic ? please
