Scientists from Nasa say that Mars has warmed by about 0.5C since the 1970s. This is similar to the warming experienced on Earth over approximately the same period.
Since there is no known life on Mars it suggests rapid changes in planetary climates could be natural phenomena.
Except the sun of course. Hang on...

I reckon the UK will start to have a climate more like Sweden. It already has the five quid beers, it's only a matter of time.

Human population growth. That's the real problem facing the earth.

What if these bearded sandal wearing "nutters" were right:
Global cooling - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Global cooling was a conjecture during the 1970s of imminent cooling of the Earth's surface and atmosphere along with a posited commencement of glaciation.
And these iPad carrying, government funded "nutters" are also right:
Global warming - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Global warming is the increase in the average temperature of Earth's near-surface air and oceans since the mid-20th century and its projected continuation.
And the two are roughly cancelling each other out, except the mid lattitudes see more of the warming and the rest of us slip into a slow ice age.

The inside of your fridge is cold but the kitchen as a whole gets warmer.
My guess is that the UK is going to get very cold. On the plus side, the pension funding gap should go away and we might stop being tulip at winter sports.

I'm very worried that the natural warming and cooling every 60 years will be interrupted by the effects of CO2, and we'll get static temperatures. This would be a disaster, causing dry areas to get drier, wet areas to get wetter, cold regions to become even colder and warm regions to get hotter.

I wonder how Mark Diacono is getting on with his farm.
BBC NEWS | England | Devon | Warming spurs olive grove hopes
A Devon smallholder has planted an olive grove with the aim of cashing in on global warming.
Mark Diacono, 39, has planted 120 trees on his 17-acre plot near Honiton in east Devon.
He is also growing almonds, apricots and persimmon and even plans to experiment with exotic paw paw.
Mr Diacono aims to bring in his first olive oil within the next seven years but just in case, he has planted an olive species used to frost and snow.
Environmental consultant Mr Diacono said the olive grove was a way of taking advantage of the climate change which was taking place.
The UK Climate Impacts Programme has said by 2080 the south-east of England could become on average 5C warmer in summer.

Saying GW isn't happening simply because things don't match as expected is unscientific. It might not be, but it's a ferociously complicated many-value system.

I'm sure Phil Jones Clarke will along in a few minutes to write a 1000 word response on why the models are still correct
