Devonian, Interestingly, you skirted around the abject failure of the prediction/ forecast/ whatever is fashionable/ told to say to get our grant money/ scare story (delete as necessary) of global cooling made in the 70s :wub:

Eight Reasons Why ‘Global Warming’ Is a Scam Written By: Joseph L. Bast Published In: Heartlander Publication Date: February 1, 2003 Publisher: The Heartland Institute "Similar scares orchestrated by radical environmentalists in the past--such as Alar, global cooling, the “population bomb,” and electromagnetic fields--were eventually debunked by scientists and no longer appear in the speeches or platforms of public officials. The New York Times recently endorsed more widespread use of DDT to combat malaria, proving Rachel Carson’s anti-pesticide gospel is no longer sacrosanct even with the liberal elite...............".

there seems to be little convective activity in southern and south east england

rain stopped and the sun's out

hazy sun and heavy rain, i give up :lol:

light rain, very dark to my north but lighter to my south

blimey CG and loud bang, rain so heavy looks like fog :huh:

heavy rain, rumbles and the wind is now a lightish SSW edit: torrential rain with thunder n lightening

rumbles, very heavy rain, and a gusty ENE wind

rain sometimes heavy and a gusty ENE wind

i've seen this development on the met office rain radar

light rain but still windy

heavy rain and windy

quiet at the mo' though dark skies

in the 70s they told us we would freeze, but us AGW skeptics know what to believe, because we are bright, that we know it's the sunlight

Because those of us who grew up in the 70s and 80s remember this and how wrong the scientists (scaremongers?) were. "Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose" tr: More things change, the more they remain the same

1 for me Here's why "This cooling has already killed hundreds of thousands of people. If it continues and no strong action is taken, it will cause world famine, world chaos and world war, and this could all come about before the year 2000. -- Lowell Ponte "The Cooling", 1976"

The N London storm shield is still powered up and deflecting storms to the N E S and W

Steady rain with gusty NE wind and cold (why didn't this happen in January?!)

8.5c with at least one day at or above 70f

Global warming is a NWO elite scam for a one world government. http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/march...balistslove.htm

i can see another well developed shower to my NE. Watch out E London!

Soft hail squally shower 15 mins ago Noticed low level cloud moving e-w

I also forgot to say he hasn't mentioned volcanic activity either.

I found it here as well http://stephenschneider.stanford.edu/Publi...uddiman2003.pdf An interesting theory but there is an assumption that changes in anthropogenic CO2 emissions causes changes in temperature. There is no mention of ocean currents as a heat distributing mechanism, solar magnetic field strength, sun spot activity, the sun being a variable star and why other planets in the solar system are also warming up.
