One would be more justified in drawing conclusions from the frequency of
April snowfalls, but even then it is wiser to take all the evidence into
account, rather than a single surrogate.

One shouldn't confuse weather with climate.

But...........in the UK we dont have climate just weather.

I remember when I was young the strange weather was blamed on the Atom
bomb, then neucular tests, then the rockets punching holes in the
ozone layer.

I forgot about those "Excuses"! I wonder what it will be when "Global
Warming" has died its death!!

It is generally accepted that in the Roman period it was warmer in Britain than it is now, then we had the Mediaeval warming period circa 1100 AD. Why would we not expect to have a naturally occurring warming period now?
