TV seems to be wall-to-wall global warming night. On any topical shows that is, they haven't manage to slip the message into pre recorded films for the most part.

Last winter was very dry. IIRC, that was AGW too. So it's "hot, cold, rains or doesn't rain".Originally posted by Andy2 View PostThey have covered all their bases
Doesn't matter if its hot, cold or rains. Its all due to AGW.

Some nice shot of snowfall and then cut to an environmental spokesperson telling us this is all to be expected with climate change, cut to video of exhaust of car. Cut to video of Gordon extolling the virtues of fighting climate change through new extra tax on fuel.

Its brisk...but hardly cold enough to freeze nuts. Try starting your car in -43C like I have. Or changing a flat in -32C! Wimps!Originally posted by DiscoStu View PostIt's brass monkeys out there today.
In recognition of this fact, I think I'm going to buy a car with at least 4 litres in an effort to warm us up a bit.

It's good to see that we pro climate change lot can now castigate all you non believers as supporters of Nick Griffin and the BNP. It's what passes for logic in the modern world innit?
PS Personally I think Nick Griffin is really great in Family Guy.
