Methuselah

I just can't see any evidence of a conspiracy...Is that because I'm not looking hard enough, or is said conspiracy just so brilliantly concealed that there isn't any evidence?

Dry and breezy with a scattering anvils, 5C...

I agree, Dev. It's 50% baseless supposition and 50% conspiracy theory...Blogoshere Heaven!

No, Val...It really has been down...

A crap day so-far...Heavy showers fo rain, strong SW wind and only 6C...

Cloudy and windy with intermittent rain, 5C...

I agree, PP...Corbyn sounds like an eejit!

But...If they're really that 'politically unstable', wouldn't it be better for them to be Solar rather than Nuclear???

Less of the 'old'! Where's the 'Zimmer' smilie???

But, DM...If we combine nuclear with renewables (Iran has a lot of sunshine) we'll be able to extend the usefulness of radioisotopes??? PS: guys, we have threads dedicated to polar ice???

Thanks for that, Lulu...I remember that summer!

I don't, for a minute, doubt that our GHG emissions act as a climate-warming forcer; IMO, the science behind that is 'beyond any reasonable doubt' (see TWS's posts)...But, I'm not yet convinced of its extent... Anyhoo...I'm sure that 'Two Jags' will cool us all down! Fair point OGTB. But, nuclear energy can never be a long-term solution; it'll run out, too.

Boom! Boom!

Hi Snowking, You sound like the kind of person that most of us are...trully sceptical...And by 'sceptical' I mean on-the-fence; in that, as long as the evidence (either way) is less than nonequivocal, being on-the-fence is the logical way to be...IMO? That said, I think that you are little off-beam when you say thet there's a 50% chance of any one year being either the hottest or coldest in 150 years...Indeed (someone put me right should I be talking out my a**e, please ) if that really were the case, our climate would oscillate (between extremes) like a yoyo???

My sceptic side quite enjoyed that...

Utterly dire! Torrential rain, fresh SW wind and 7C!

Just one thing, Ian...I can recall many forecasts from the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s that ended with the accursed phrase: at least it'll be mild! :unsure:

:lol: :lol: One thing, where they've never 'quite' managed to convince me yet, why can't all this Climate Change 'diplomacy' be done via video-conferencing...Do they really need to take x-number of nearly-empty passenger-liners half-way round the world to Copenhagen?? :unsure:

What sort of daft question is that, Laser?? :unsure: :lol: It's a Jolly Junket, is what it is!

Sorry about that, guys...It was accidently on purpose... :lol: Anyhoo, I'm glad no-one has taken my (often somewhat 'challenged') humour the wrong way... Keep going with the Leaky Integrator. :wacko:

Exactly Ice...The sceptics have merely pulled another red-herring out the hat...

Windy with heavy showers, 5C...

I'm with you on that, Solar! But, IMO, a lot of that particular 'misunderstanding' comes from the media's inability (or unwillingness?) to differentiate between consistency and cause... For, whilst any kind of 'freak' weather is always consistent with GW Theory; it's a load of sensationalist tosh to claim that GW is always the cause of individual 'freak' weather events. Said 'freak' weather have always happened and always will...

It's blowing a bit here, now...I can even see SNOW in the sky!!!

Cloudy, showery and blowing a hoolie, 5C...
