  1. Gone very, very dark...I think the 'thunder' I though I heard must've been rap; it's not easy to tell, sometimes.
  2. You're right, Ian: the 'stall' is being presented as though it overrides all what's known about climate... IMO, harping-on about what is unknown is just a waste of everybody's time...Better to obtain the knowledge than to hope/assume that our received opinions might one day be substantiated...Why is it that the very same people, who are quick to criticize the lack of knowledge, are also the very first to complain about paying for the necessary research? Do they actually want to find out the truth??
  3. Which does relate to what Ian posted into the sceptics' thread, earlier: many of the so-called 'sceptics' most eye-catching claims are based entirely on lies... http://forum.netweather.tv/topic/76448-scepticism-of-man-made-climate-change/page-33#entry2810099
  4. Just a wee reminder...any obviously pro-AGW posts will be moved to the appropriate thread...
  5. What about all this 'clean' coal-burning technology, then? Does that work underground?
  6. I put some growmore on the lawn, this morning...talk about luck! Unlike yours, TJ, my hair has long passed its ruin-by date.
  7. Here you go: RJS's methodology. http://forum.netweather.tv/topic/75437-roger-smiths-developing-lrf-model/page-3?hl=winter+forecast#entry2623031
  8. Indeed Malcolm...Which makes me wonder if the Political Elite's efforts to curtail Internet freedom aren't part of the Right Wing's determination to throttle the flow of information?
  9. I suspect that any effect it does have will be far too small to be directly attributed?
  10. Can't see any reason why anyone should feel 'mystified', 4...Do you suggest a wholesale return to Victorian 'values' - what folks don't know about can't hurt them?
  11. March was just about the most boring month ever, barring February 1986...
  12. A bright and very mild start - 14.5 after overnight min of 13....
  13. Well, yes; predictions for precise dates do leave me wondering, too - I must say - so you do make a fair point, IMO...Folks only quibble about blizzards on Jan 12 after someone has predicted them? I have no problem whatsoever with, say, +/- 3 days. Doesn't every truly scientific prediction carry a degree of uncertainty?
  14. Whilst I sympathize with that view, ukpaul, there are clearly three distinct types of forecast: Maddenesque ramp jobs; wishy-washy horoscope-type efforts that can mean either everything or nothing, depending on one's wishes; scientific predictions, such as GP's, RJS's and others'...IMO, the first two can be dismissed out-of-hand, as being pure guesswork, but the last cannot. It's not just the 'rightness' that is important; testability, methodology and the explanations of the results make them valid...
  15. I've heard all sorts of justifications of why the reversion to BST comes so late...But, it's still a mystery...
  16. It was claimed that there were more accidents, involving children, in the mornings; but I don't think that they then realized that that was more than offset by a reduction, in the evenings...
  17. The only stress I get is from the backward change that occurs in the Autumn...
