    It's the blind self-c0nfidence that makes me chuckle the most.

    As in this from one of the high priests of warmism, back in 2000: "Snowfalls are now just a thing of the past"

    So, what changed?

    ISTR Viner got a job with the British Council, spending your and my tax pounds proselytising the faith throughout the world, while we freeze and look forward to artificially inflated energy prices.

    Some scientist.

    ‎2010: Another record breaking winter. So what happened to global warming?

    Temperatures plummeted to -10c (14f) last night prompting the UK’s Met Office to state that this December 2010 was ‘almost certain’ to become the coldest since records began in 1910.

    That's why we have this cold snap - the gulf stream's going over Europe because of some icy blasts from Canada and the Arctic. Gulf Stream hit that lot and went south.
    The Gulf Stream is a sea current and can't move much, though it could reduce & shut down. Recent research suggests this is less likely than once thought, but it wouldn't be great for us if it did, considering that Glasgow is roughly the same distance from the Equator as Moscow.

    What has shifted is the usual pattern of jet streams, and yes, by the looks of it, our nice warmer ones have gone south for the winter.

    As in stock market movements, what happens in a few winters (days) is just 'noise,' as Masomnia has said. Wish I had shares in thermal underwear though......or even just more thermal underwear! :(

    For the 3rd year in a row (it appears :mad:)

    Spent 3 hours on Friday digging, another 3 hours Saturday, and now it looks like I have another 3 hours today :eek:

    God you people are boring. In fact you'd be dangerous with an education, so stay dumb and ignorant.

    At least he knows what a negative and positive is. Remember your classic Rightmove thread from last week?

    A little longer than that, actually. Which is just one of the places where warmism fails to convince. Hence the attempts by Hansen and co to pretend the Mediaeval Warm Period didn't exist.

    Didn't the Romans grow wine in southern England too? Good wine at that.

    There were also those ice fairs and some very cold winters.

    It suggests to me that the temperature on earth fluctuates.

    I think it is natures way of telling you to stop digging.

    Therre have always been cycles of climatic change and always will be. Unfortunately, unprincipled "scientists" such as that bunch at the University of East Anglia tried to hide that truth because it was an inconvenient obstacle to their flow of grant income.

    The global warming lot were exposed for the profit-seekers they truly are the instant some non-scientist asked: "Why was Greenland called Greenland. . ?"

    Asheron's question seems to my humble self to be relevant at this time and the Ghoulish Codpiece's response stuffed full of the very ignorance he rushes so virtuously to condemn.
