Here in North Staffordshire (low ground) we have the most snow for several
years, a good covering. Stick to the trees and bushes, sun shining looks
like fairy land, so much for global warming. Talking of which there has
been no global warming at all this century, and none is expected for a
number of years, that is the official UN report!

The claim that "global warming has stopped" is based on 1998 being way
above the trend line (strong El Nino), but even so it's not clear whether
1998 or 2005 was the warmest year on record. 7 of the 8 warmest years on
record were in this century, not to mention last year's unprecedented
retreat of the Arctic sea ice.

Claims that "global warming has stopped" requires ignoring the existence
of interannual variability modifying the secular trend. See

2008 is expected to be cooler than recent years (but quite possibly still
among the 10 warmest years on record), due to a strong La Nina. As for the
claim of an official UN report saying no warming is expected for a number
of years I would like a citation.

Global Warming? Oh yes, I see, that is why it is blooming cold out there and
we have has snow on April 6th :-))

In the past I have seen sunbathers on the beach on April 1st, and no there
were no 'playing the fool'

Snow in April? Put it down to ""Global Warming""
