    But this load of codswallop.........


    In December Al Gore said that there will be no ice in the Arctic in five years. Now he says there 'might' be no ice in the Arctic in five years.

    In other words, whatever happens he will have been right all along. These people should be writing horoscopes for the Sun.

    The duo combined direct observations with projections from 23 global climate models that contributed to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's (IPCC) 2007 global assessment.

    They calculate there is greater than 90% probability that by 2100, the average growing-season temperatures in the tropics and subtropics will be higher than any temperatures recorded there to date.



    So now it's delayed until 2100?

    I'm sure that "hockey stick" graph showed the temp rising in the next few years, not 90+ years.

    ....which, when applied over the previous millennia, incorrectly describe the climate as actually witnessed. So those mathematical models are REALLY reliable

    My guess would be that the difference is due to the fact we are in different countries not that we drive different cars.
