5.5 mightn't be that far out...Then again?

Workington Floods - Photos

Those poor people! -
My prediction the same as Fred's - 7.2...Wrong again!
-
How can they both be infinite, when the best evidence points to the contrary?
-
Mostly dry and bright with a moderate SW wind, 6C...
-
One for PP, maybe???
-
Not having an 'axe to grind' either way, I'll wait and see what transpires...
-
Dry and cloudy with a southerly wind, 11C...
-
I won't go into proxies, David, and I see no reason to doubt your figures; but, it's fair to say (IMO) that a fair few 'sceptics' often question their (proxies') validity... My real point is, though, that none of us knows exactly what the future holds. IMO, we are all guessing?? Yes mate! You do have a very valid point...
-
It's also true that, by demarkating(sp?) the start of the Mmmmmm...as being 1988, the cold(er) winters of 1991, 1996, 2001 and 2009 have all occurred within this er..timeframe. And, IMO, that fact alone implies (quite strongly) that severe winters are not impossible... Always unlikely, but not impossible!

I agree Os. The facts speak for themselves! I moved to Inverness in December 1988 expecting the city to be regularly cut-off by snow, as it so-often was in the 60s, late 70s and 80s...But, barring the odd shortlived 'Snowmageddon', that hardly ever happens these days... So, I agree with Ian Brown, in that some kind of pattern-change has occurred...That said, further changes (or none) could occur at any time...Warmer or colder - I do not know. Who does?
-
And, we know that? Did the Venerable Bede have a thermometer?
-
Cloudy and damp with a light SSE wind, 7C...
-
No. But I have seen some of them on the Web...
-
Fair point Backtrack; but, by the same token, it hasn't fallen either! Which, with the current states of both Solar output and Milankovitch cycles, it arguably should be.
-
I'm sure someone (having nothing better to do!) could take many of our 'tongue-in-cheek' posts sufficiently out of context, and paint an entirely unrepresentative impression of the posters?
-
Dry and sunny, 4C...But, frontal cloud is spreading in from the south...
-
It's interesting just how little interest is being shown by the real News-outlets??? One would hardly expect anything but fanfare from WUWT et al, however; it being their raison detre to discredit climate scientists?

Stratosphere Temperature Watch

Get well soon ch...Your imput is missed! :lol: -
Rain hammering on the roof!
-
Although it'll take a lot more than mere accusations of data-manipulation to convince me that CO2 is not a GHG, I abhor the very idea of using manipulation to spread concern! But, with all the cherry-picking (also data-manipulation!) in which some of the more extreme 'sceptics' seem to excell, it really wouldn't surprise me all that much??? :unsure: That said, as a sceptic, I'll be keeping an open mind!
-
My guesses would be, that the emails themselves are almost certainly genuine...But also, that people whose fanaticism is at such a level that they use illegal means of getting information, are hardly likely to baulk at the idea of further tampering with it, if it'll help them in their crusade?
-
Breezy and showery, 9C...
-
My apologies LS...I wasn't making any criticisms at all about your post...Indeed, I often use the American 'skeptic' myself. :lol: I've a feeling it was my words that were the clumsier? I guess that that'll teach me not to 'attempt' cleverness in my one-liners, after too-much red wine. :lol:
-
I'm sceptical of everything LS...
