  1. Already up to 22C here, so the year's top temp of 27C might be under threat?
  2. The thing that's worrying me, is the apparent similarity to early May 1980...the rest of that summer was indescribably awful. Thank goodness I don't trust pattern-matching!?
  3. We should all question things, Tablet...But, ever since 2LOT was discovered/formulated it has never been successfully challenged (notwithstanding a few peculiar quantum effects); heat will always travel from a warmer thing to a colder thing, and the size of the cog can only really affect the time-line, not the eventuality: the eventual warming of the Antarctic is inevitable. All other things remaining equal, of course?
  4. I heard about the eruption on Global news, this morning; they said that red lava was coming out of a fissure...That would have been news had the lava been blue!
  5. I agree Tablet, we do need to look at Antarctica as whole, but we also need to look at the Earth as a whole; when we do that, we realise that Antarctica is merely a 'small cog in a very big wheel' - rather like putting a single ice-cube on one's kitchen floor and expecting it to keep the entire house cool in perpetuity? For how much longer can CCDs keep their heads in the sand, and deny the inevitable?
  6. Same here, but it has clouded over a wee bit now, though...According to BBC Look East, it'll be at or above (by day) 18C for the whole of next week. With mostly unbroken sunshine, too!
  7. Looks good to me, Karl. Wouldn't want to be in NW Scotland, though!
  8. I wouldn't worry too much SF - most, if not all, of the predictions will be wrong, anyway!
  9. Aye; is could be heat from geothermal activity, heat from warming ocean currents or heat from a warming world...Or it could be a combination of all three. Not that that makes a great deal of difference; if millions of tonnes of land-ice melts into the ocean, global see-level will rise...? Looking for solutions might be a tad more important than bisecting rabbits over the exact cause?
  10. Maybe some poetry will help you through, lass: https://poetryaloud.co.uk/poem/ode-cucumber-colin-whyles
  11. That's odd, it coincides with national sit behind the net-curtains with a pair of military-standard binoculars day!
  12. Same here - a deep blue sky and light winds: the polar opposite of yesterday's garbage!
  13. Have you been attacked by enemy paratroopers, lass? Goats with parachutes?
  14. I used to work with a lady whom we used to call the 'Bouncing Czech' way back around 1977...some folks believed (myself included) that her name to be Helena, while others thought it was Pelena. Aren't Brits just world-class when it come to foreign languages!
  15. An imaginary menagerie? If only this 100mm precipitation had arrived when we had 2m temps of -5C!
  16. I used to play chess with an East European guy...You might say he was my Czech mate!
