    Indeed it does. Pollution when it was at it's worst during the industrial revolution is still probably less than some other countries at the moment. Notably China and USA.

    So why should we freeze our brass monkeys? Compared to the big polluters we only contribute a squirrel's fart.

    I saw a documentary last year that predicted a scenario similar to that movie, where the UK could be plunged into the ice age. All due to the potential climate changes affecting the atlantic heat conveyor (as others have mentioned), which if it stops we're in for a massive climate change in the UK.

    There's also a bunch of scientists predicting global cooling, which seems a lot more likely at the moment!

    So what convenient excuse willl the global warmists come up with now aye?

    Their fancy shmansy weather models didnt predict the temp drop off did they? Oh no, they didnt!

    So I guess now they will just have to fall back on that good old "global weather change" comfy blanket as their explanation for weather and temps that arent what they were predicting are!

    Lovely, sunny and steaming hot here today in Denmark. I even got the lawn mower out to cut the grass, but that was more to do with being the first one cutting their grass this year.
