So much rain!
Alan Holmes writes
So called 'global warming' is a con to extract more money from us in unnecessary taxation. So to what do you ascribe the changes in weather that you have seen over your lifetime? -- Kay |

But global warming was bringing mild wet Winters and hot dry Summers. So another thing the experts have got wrong, like the cause, unless the Martians are generating lots of carbon dioxide as well, because Mars is warming up also... There is apparently evidence that the sun is putting out more energy, which might help to account for Mars, but that's all the more reason to try to stabilise --and even better, reduce-- the concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. One doesn't generally want to wear a heavy overcoat on a hot summer day. |

Be interesting to know where the next "stable point" regarding the weather will be and whether it is beyond the extremes of human survival. No steps will be taken until enough people feel it is enough of a problem to be worth bearing the inevitable pain of trying to do something about it. I was hoping that the last week's events would help shift towards that and away from the attitude 'global warning? Britain like the south of France? Bring it on!' But global warming was bringing mild wet Winters and hot dry Summers. It was also bringing many more extreme events, which is precisely what we are seeing. So another thing the experts have got wrong, like the cause, unless the Martians are generating lots of carbon dioxide as well, because Mars is warming up also. Still yet another excuse to get more taxes from us, so that politicians and civil servants can be sure of their inflation proof pensions. Well, I suppose I can still hope. What, for an inflation proof pension!(:-) |

So to what do you ascribe the changes in weather that you have seen over your lifetime? A natural change which has been going on for thousands of years, nothing to do with me owning a motor car and driving it around. If there really was a danger from the use of vehicles burning fuel, surely the first step to slow down the problem would be to cut the hundreds of thousands of aircraft flights each year, every minute of the day 300 people fly over my house from 6.00am to 11.30pm, using enough fuel to power about a million cars for 20 years. But this is not apparently a problem, it is me leaving my tv on standby! |

Too many people it seems associate global warming with man-made global warming and treat them as if they are the same thing. ....and politicians will not tell the truth - that there is nothing whatsoever we can do to stop it. |
