    There is no event too big or too seemingly unrelated that the climate change zealots will not jump on to further their self serving agendas

    Nothing to do with the (predicted) worst El Nino on record then?

    Seems that El Nina will be in place soon so things should start to cool down abit. Acording to NOAA any way

    Nonetheless, it has been a staggering run for the planet of late. "This was also the 14th consecutive month the monthly global temperature record has been broken -- the longest such streak in NOAA's 137 years of recordkeeping," NOAA reported. Both NOAA and NASA have rated every month this year so far as a record-breaker.

    And now blaming Hilary for it: WATCH: Trump campaign boss says Melania didn’t plagiarize — and blames Hillary for the controversy

    Back on topic

    How dare people attempt to derail my thread onto the dreary topic of AGW.

    […] the scandal raises an obvious question about the straight-shooting honesty of Mr Trump’s campaign that is one of his main boasts. Plainly, Mrs Trump was trying to reinforce just that impression by claiming, falsely, to have written the speech herself. She now looks a phony, which makes Mr Trump look like a phony, too.
    He would now seem to have two ways of dealing with the fallout. He could admit the error and fire the errant speechwriter. Or Mr Trump, who almost never admits to possessing any weakness, may choose to ignore the blunder and simply blame the media for making an unnecessary fuss. His spokesman, in a statement released shortly after the foul-up was noticed, suggested Mr Trump preferred the second path.

    In fairness, the quote facility automatically strips quotes, although that was no doubt a welcome side effect here.

    And yes, there are other less flattering words to describe people who willfully and obstinately ignore cast iron evidence!

    Think about it again next week when it's 15 deg and pissing down all day.

    Well, there's a lesson for all politicians. If you want to win an election, don't plagiarise from someone who lost.

    UK weather: Mercury to hit 34C as public health officials issue heat warnings to the elderly and vulnerable

    April 2016 is the hottest April on record globally, breaking the previous record by the largest margin ever recorded. It is the seventh month in a row that is at least 1C above the mean, placing 2016 in line to be the hottest year on record.
    Doesn't that give you climate change sceptics pause for thought?
