According to the Telegraph.

 

 

Snow is consistent with global warming, say scientists

 

Britain may be in the grip of the coldest winter for 30 years and grappling with up to a foot of snow in some places but the extreme weather is entirely consistent with global warming, claim scientists.

Temperatures for December and January were consistently 1.8 F ( 1 C) lower than the average of 41 F (5 C)and 37 F (3C) respectively and more snow fell in London this week than since the 1960s.

 

But despite this extreme weather, scientists say that the current cold snap does not mean that climate change is going into reverse. In fact, the surprise with which we have greeted the extreme conditions only reinforces how our climate has changed over the years.

 

A study by the Met Office which went back 350 years shows that such extreme weather now only occurs every 20 years.

 

Back in the pre-industrial days of Charles Dickens, it was a much more regular occurrence - hitting the country on average every five years or so.

 

 

 

 

 

So that's OK then, it's still getting warmer?

 

Well it might be if this article wasn't dated February 3rd 2009!

That's based on the theory of the North Atlantic Drift getting diverted so we end up with the same temperatures as other countries at our latitude.

 

The other point is that snow and cold weather is also consistent with winter B)

The really cold weather in the early '60s was widespread. It was the first time I'd seen a lake frozen to the point that it was safe to drive an auto onto the lake. That is usual in some places but not as far south as I lived at that time.

 

I dunno if that was a global warming thing or just a really nasty cold snap. We were getting air masses pushed down rapidly from Canada for a few weeks.

The hottest year i saw was 1976, when many thousands of houses started to crack up due to subsidence, shrinking clay, due to the prolonged sunshine, hasn't been repeated since. It has been suggested by some that it is now cooling a bit.

Free to choose apart from the ones where the trust poked their nose in. Common eel. tope. Bass and sea bream. All restricted.


New for 2016 TAT are the main instigators for the demise of the u k bass charter boat industry, where they went screaming off to parliament and for the first time assisting so called angling gurus set up bass take bans with the e u using rubbish exaggerated info collected by ices from anglers, they must be very proud.

Upgrade, the door has been closed with regards to anglers being linked to the e u superstate and the failed c f p. So TAT will no longer need to pay monies to the EAA anymore as that org is no longer relevant to the u k . Goodbye to the europeon anglers alliance and pathetic restrictions from the e u.

Angling is better than politics, ban politics from angling.

Consumer of bass. where is the evidence that the u k bass stock need angling trust protection. Why won't you work with your peers instead of castigating them. They have the answer.

Recipie's for mullet stew more than welcomed.

Angling sanitation trust and kent and sussex sea anglers org delete's and blocks rsa's alternative opinion on their face book site. Although they claim to rep all.

new for 2014. where is the evidence that the south coast bream stock need the angling trust? Your campaign has no evidence. Why won't you work with your peers, the inshore under tens? As opposed to alienating them? Angling trust failed big time re bait digging, even fish legal attempted to intervene and failed, all for what, nothing.

Looks like the sea angling reps have been coerced by the ifca's to compose sea angling strategy's that the ifca's at some stage will look at drafting into legislation to manage the rsa, because they like wasting tax payers money. That's without asking the rsa btw. You know who you are..

Absolutely. I am on the fence as far as the global warming thing is concerned, but I do remember at the outset, it was said that places like the UK would have colder winters because of the Gulf Stream/North Atlantic Drift being adversely affected. Certainly here in Oz we had our second warmest year on record last year, but we have had much warmer summers than we had last year. This one is fairly normal so far I think. Plenty of mid 30C days with two of about 40C. If it keeps on like this then it will be a normal summer. However, I can see that the concern may well be of the extra degree higher during the course of a whole year.

 

I see that global warming is not going to be a problem anyway because a star 3,000 light years away is going to super nova and send out rays or something [CFCs (joke)] which will strip away our ozone layer. Ohhh, let's go back to the '60s when we were expecting to be nuked at any time. At least we would have had a nice hot summer for a few moments and a cold nuclear winter! But I bet that steam engines would still have got through it all! :D

As you are about as near to the Equator as Morocco, it's hardly surprising.

What isn't surpising? The temperatures, or that our summer seems to be normal? :huh:

The Met office say that the cold weather last year was a one in twenty year event; then it happens again the year after. It seems to me that they are desperately fighting to explain away facts that so inconveniently keep going against their precious AGW dogma.

That's not science. That's climatologists clinging to their sudden elevation to their present status as "relevant" scientists. Once they have been shown to be truly incompetent we can go back to looking at pine cones! Just as inaccurate but millions of pounds cheaper.

1963, What a great year.

 

This is the year that I remember the most. :D such great times.

Fishing seems to be my favorite form of loafing.

 

"Even a bad day of fishing is better than a good day of work."

 

I know the joy of fishes in the river through my own joy, as I go walking along the same river.

 

What do you think if the float does not dip, try again I think.
