Comin' over 'ere, nickin' our weather!

Hey, nice chart BB. 8 years, cherry-picked to start at the warmest year this century, to 'prove' something about climate trends. Let me guess, Monckton?

It is certainly the case that for temperatures, what was warm not so long ago, is now normal...



But for extreme weather events, the evidence is more noisy. Its hard to demonstrate that what was once a once per 100 year event is now a once per 50 year event, weather patterns have always shifted naturally and observations are much more high resolution in the satellite era, so picking the normalised signal from the noise is tricky. However there is strong evidence that hurricanes are getting stronger and weather in general is changing in a way we would expect in a climate system accumulating heat .....

You'll have to wait for your answer. As per his cognitive capacity, BB is a bottom-feeder in the workplace. He won't have access to t'internet till after 5.

well if you don't think that the article you link to suggests that this weather event concentrates on the South, you're even more of a prick than you come across as:-




Now, children, hands up who thought it was evenly distributed...

Of course it isn't evenly distributed you absolute moron, would be astonishing if it was.
Look again at the key to that map - it shows that almost every area of the UK had more than 100% of the average rainfall for this time of year., the South obviously bearing the brunt.
Which is the point I was making.
Cretin.

Nah, it's Monckton. aka Christopher Monckton, the Viscount Monckton of Benchley, scientific advisor to and deputy leader of, UKIP. A classicist, he was given space in the Sunday Telegraph to write about GW (his sister Rosa was married to the Editor) and never looked back. To the extent that in hearings by the US Congress on the science, he was apparently the best 'expert' the Republicans could locate to give evidence

Of course, testimony to a House Select Committee needs to be of a higher standard than that required to get printed in the Telegraph, and Monckton's was demolished here.

Where to start with this chart? Cherry-picked and too short timescale, inappropriate averaging of satellite and ground-based measurements, wrong IPCC projection chosen .....

The weather today is wonderful. Can we put this down to climate change?

good point DA.
In fact I think all the bad weather is directly proportional to the warming over the last 17 years. Which, as the IPCC point out, is zero

good point DA.

What's good about it, oh great moronic presence?

What's good about it, oh great moronic presence?

because if the massive increase of zero degrees causes the bad weather, it must also cause the good weather.

unless, its an evil increase of zero degrees. with an agenda
