eagerly awaiting the next update from Ian :lol:

id 3rd that so far Ian has been correct 100% of the time so if he says its gunna snow then i think it will! also took a peek into the model thread lol talk about caravaning is all im saying......

My last reply on this topic it is to do with the speed in which the climate is warming yes if we were coming out of an ice age then temperatures wud be rising but in the last 100 years we have seen a rise of 1 degree which may not seem alot but on a normal scale we wud be looking at 0.2 degrees in 100 years ( quoting form lecture notes) also worth noting IPCC predicts a rise of 1.1 to 6.3 degrees by the year 2100 which is an insane rise the implications of which would effect the entire world. BUT another factor to take into account is population currently worlds population is 7 billion by 2050 were looking at 9.6 billion the footprint that many people are gunna have. scary stuff the future!

i cud go and give you a hundred journal articles to read but i cba al gore explains it simply

read my post above

I am currently studying Geography and Environmental Management (now 2nd year) 60 credits of my course is just on Climate change the amount of scientific evidence and new papers being published are overwhelming our understanding of past climates is key to how the climate in the future will behave. There is a proven link for ice core, pollen sampling, and marine coring between CO2 levels and the temperature of the climate at that time. Currently C02 are way above levels that have ever ever been recorded. Just because we have 1 cold winter proves absoultly nothing just because our climate may be 2-4 degrees warmer does not mean the UK will always have warm winters we will still have some cold winters some even extreme cold. THEN theres over worrys such as the shutting down of the North Atlantic Conveyor belt which would in-turn make the UK much colder equivent to that of say western russia without the warm currents from the carribean warming up the UK, however we dont fully understand this yet! this conveyer seems to turn off and then on again in a cyclic process known as Dansgaard-Oeschger events. wow rant over haha - bit off topic

Ian any medium term updates earlier you said something about an update 2nite from the guys at the MO

lol at that post just drove home from playing crazy golf @ cabbot circus drove in the rain for a little bit temp of -1
