@Dami: I've never, in all my many years, grasped the point of 'feels like' temperatures: to me, 15C with a breeze feels like 15C with a breeze, and not 11C. . . I do get the risks from hypothermia, of course; but that's not the same thing, IMO?
And now I'm back in Times New Roman!

So, that would explain all the funny looks I was getting, as I walked (wearing a t-shirt and jeans) around Beccles, this arvo!

@Scuba steve: Personally, I love the aesthetic wonder of pylons; stretching out across the countryside, as they do, like tall naked girls. . .
And, that, ladies and gentlemen is all I can remember from 'learning' about poetry. I was 11!

Meanwhile, today's Deep Dive asks the obvious question: Are we seeing a very early demise of the PV? Should the answer to that be 'yes', I think we might be about to experience a very long summer. But whether or not it'll be a hot one is another question entirely.

Can modular uranium and thorium reactors help?

But not so bad as posting weird and wonderful cherry-picked perturbations?

I'll go for 8.2C and 82mm thanks, Roger.

That's if you think that the Gulf Stream will stop. How come Greenland had almost tropical flora, a few million years ago, when there was zero sea ice in the Arctic; but the heat got up there somehow?

lawrenk No idea!

But they haven't made any predictions. There's a stark difference between predictions and diagnostics; what folks choose to do with those diagnostics is up to them. . .

matty40s Indeed; it has 'tipping point' written all over it.

Midlands Ice Age Aye, MIA; there are so many feedbacks that no one knows the truth.

Midlands Ice Age My point is that it's hard to ignore it -- I'm in no way trying to disparage your thread; it's a brilliant topic. . . But AGW impacts everywhere?

Midlands Ice Age Why would you want to ignore AGW, MIA, especially given that the Arctic seems to be one of the worst-hit areas? Increased warmth = increased H20 = increased snowfall, I think.

This one really does encompass Climate Change denial:

danm Very similar to February 1975, Dan; daffs were out, hedgerows were in leaf. . . and then it all went pear-shaped!

raz.org.rain But Deniers still accuse climate models of overestimating GW (remember the 17-year-long 'pause'?) but, anyway, empirical data suggest that they are within the IPCC's error bars?
I think it's the havoc AGW is causing locally that's the biggest problem, as some parts of the world have experienced super-cold conditions but many more are having repeated droughts and heatwaves. Take the UK for example: 40C, one year, and ridiculous amounts rainfall, the next. . .
Methinks we're all up Sheet Creek without a paddle.

@Scuba steve: I know, they are immensly beautiful structures that we all treasure. Unless, of course, electricity lines could be run underground; which new ones could be? Tall naked girls? Well, that's a different matter altogether!
