Global warming

[emeraldblue]

Does anyone know what happened to global warming?

[factor-fiction]

It's now referred to as Climate Change- that way the believers can argue it's happening regardless of whether it gets hotter, colder, drier, wetter or windier.

Please factor (sorry emerald) tell me how you got your hat...?

Cairo is 31C and Perth 37 - ask them.......

No, the general trend geologically is that we are on a slow slide towards the next ice age.....and that in the short term there will be warm periods (winters and summers) and cold ones.......we may be just experiencing a wee blip towards the cold side - and N/C Europe is pretty cold at the moment, given the current jetstream......

Hi boxtops- I made a bit of a mess of the hat picture in my haste. I just did a Google images search on Santa Hat, copied one of the many pictures, superimposed it on my sun face and changed the hat size until it fitted on my sunface exactly.
I'll tidy it up sometime.

You can tell that the next ice age is on it's way when the sun wears a hat.

There`s no such thing as Global Warming...

if you get a global warmer on, suggest that they read Danziger's 1215 - (which is a very interesting read with insights to how society lived and was structured at the time of 1215 - religion, politics, punishments, law, food, drink and sex.....etc etc.

One thing comes out - in 1215 England's drink culture was wine - upto Luton had the current clime of Bordeaux as it was on average 4C (if I remember) warmer than now and they were growing white wine grapes up into Scotland....... Then the mini-ice age of the late 15th and 16thC took over (and one can plot mini-moraines in Scotland on where the glaciers came about and Snowdonia was named as the Welsh Alps) - then we became a grain based society for beers and whiskies. Germany etc also followed this vino-climatic change......

In short, global change has always been around - not that I am condoning the wastage of resources and belching things like NOx-es and SOx-es into the atmosphere.......
