    It´s the sun stupid

    The man who repeatedly beats the Met Office at its own game - Telegraph ....or is Piers Corbyn just lucky with his forecasts? Is a run of exceptionally cold winters each a little worse than the last....just a statistical outlier? Who reckons next Winter will fit in with the Met office...

    Literally. On Tuesday 21 December. I hope you enjoyed autumn but it's soon going to be winter's turn. Should we extend it from about mid November to the end of March? Here's a nice song to cheer you up:

    Why didn't the emergency budget.....

    ...talk about the most important threat to the human race for a million years? Man Made Climate Change. What's the point in wasting time and money tackling a £1 Trillion deficit when we should be spending everything we have banning CO2? Or has the hysteria died down a bit now? :rolleyes:
