It's only weather (again like last the last 10 years)

Don't get the 'T' shirts out just yet.

Cold air from the Continong is about to be replaced by more cold air from off Greenland and Iceland.

Woopie-Doo!.

Forget global warming - it's Cycle 25 we need to worry about (and if NASA scientists are right the Thames will be freezing over again) | Mail Online

The supposed ‘consensus’ on man-made global warming is facing an inconvenient challenge after the release of new temperature data showing the planet has not warmed for the past 15 years.
The figures suggest that we could even be heading for a mini ice age to rival the 70-year temperature drop that saw frost fairs held on the Thames in the 17th Century.

Based on readings from more than 30,000 measuring stations, the data was issued last week without fanfare by the Met Office and the University of East Anglia Climatic Research Unit. It confirms that the rising trend in world temperatures ended in 1997.


How inconvenient for the next batch of tax-payer funding.

It doesn´t help the AGW argument when during every Winter we get heaps of snow and extremely cold temps.


Feels warm in Germany with temps up to about -6.

More tabloid science - sigh.

Today the Mail on Sunday published a story written by David Rose entitled “Forget global warming – it’s Cycle 25 we need to worry about”.

This article includes numerous errors in the reporting of published peer reviewed science undertaken by the Met Office Hadley Centre and for Mr. Rose to suggest that the latest global temperatures available show no warming in the last 15 years is entirely misleading.

Despite the Met Office having spoken to David Rose ahead of the publication of the story, he has chosen to not fully include the answers we gave him to questions around decadal projections produced by the Met Office or his belief that we have seen no warming since 1997.

Met Office.

Hmmm. Who to believe? Tough one.

It will be interesting to see, although neither side will be able to call the result for many years yet.

The problem is that they (and you) are lecturing the wrong people.

If the powers of 'global industry' had not outsourced millions of our industrial jobs to China etc, we could have tackled CO2 here using technology, instead of just dumping the problem up thousands of chimneys in China.

The 'new' chimneys in China are not new chimneys, they are our old chimneys rebuilt somewhere else.

Remember folks Global Warming, the world is hotter now than it's ever been.

And what exactly was your viewpoint while we were having an unseasonably warm winter until a week or two back? Presumably then it suited YOU to call it weather?

[pjclarke]

It doesn´t harm the AGW argument one jot, when during every Winter we get heaps of snow and extremely cold temps, as no climate model ever predicted the end of weather.

FTFY.

Yeah, it's just a little bit of winter, nothing unusual, like digging your house out of the snow in Romania...All normal hot planet stuff.

it's so hot round here, I ve just seen a brass monkey going past looking for a welder

Those poor people are all talking gibberish.
