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

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:I...ure_Record.svg

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""

:-((

If you want to be taken seriously, try an honest argument, rather than
trying to confuse local weather with global climate.

The Sun will burn up the Earth. Nothing to do with global warming. Live with
it. Read all about it here

Why should I believe your 'Tooth Fairy' story when there is that one around?


Why on earth would you think bringing up that red herring is going to
fool anyone? But you are making yourself look more like a generalised
science denier when you add astrophysics to climatalogy.


One for you. "Who or what is God?"


I don't see the relevance, except that it is belief in God that leads
some people to deny anthropogenic global warming - they conclude from
their belief that God made the universe for their benefit that he will
prevent humanity from wrecking its environment. I hope you're not trying
to claim that acceptance of the factuality of anthropogenic global
warming is atheistic.

Kindest possible regards


I don't believe you.

Living in the real world and not mumbo jumbo land :-)


Someone who brings up a process operating on a billion year timescale as
a red herring to dismiss a process operating on a hundred year timescale
is clearly living in some approximation to mumbo jumbo land.
