Snow is a thing of the past

except in snowy Egypt

[oscarose]

the current excess rain is due to the location of the jet stream - simple

the trajectory of the jet stream is governed by many factors

i'm not sure if 'global warming' is a factor. one factor is the temperature differential between the arctic and the mid-latitudes

C02 levels are linked to temperature. They track one another. The AGW mob only print CO2 levels going back a century. If you go back further you can see its peaks and troughs.

The recent uptick in Co2 is nothing to do with industrialisation, and AGW is a myth. Look at ALL of the data.

the rise of CO2 follows the temp rise, as PJ demonstrated

[suityou01]

the rise of CO2 follows the temp rise, as PJ demonstrated

And the decrease in CO2 follows decrease in temperature.

I always thought it was due to women not having 80's big hair anymore therefore no need for so much hairspray

How much weather is being caused by climate change? Maybe 1 part in 1,000. « Roy Spencer, PhD

Now, how that tiny imbalance gets translated into a change in weather is, admittedly, not well understood. But, ultimately, weather is still related to energy imbalances, and mankind’s role in changing those rates of energy flow is miniscule.

The idea that any of the weather we are seeing is in any significant way due to humanity’s greenhouse gas emissions verges on irrationality.

Here is an example of climate change that caused excessive rain.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Ice_Age


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_F...5%E2%80%931317

In the spring of 1315, unusually heavy rain began in much of Europe. Throughout the spring and summer, it continued to rain and the temperature remained cool. These conditions caused widespread crop failures. The straw and hay for the animals could not be cured and there was no fodder for the livestock. The price of food began to rise. Food prices in England doubled between spring and midsummer. Salt, the only way to cure and preserve meat, was difficult to obtain because it was more difficult to extract through evaporation in the wet weather; it went from 30 shillings to 40 shillings.[5]

All that rain heralded the onset of the little ice age.
