WELL THAY ARE RECORD BREAKING TEMPS ITS FLIPPING COLD  :shock:

thermidorthelobster:
It does make me laugh...  we keep getting the most extreme weather (hot, dry, flooded, tornado-prone etc) since records began, and everybody thinks climate change is a load of rubbish.

Yeah, of course, everything is totally normal!  Climate change is a myth!  How the future generations will chuckle :twisted: .  Neville Chamberlain eat your heart out.

I wonder how many will stand up and be counted in 20 years when the Thames Basin's flooded?  I'll happily hold my hands up and say I was totally wrong if it's not;  but when your houses are underwater will you say to your kids, I was one of the ones who said it was all a big joke?

datalas:
I'm not commenting that it's a joke, it's just that the only opportunity that has been presented for correcting the problem has been the same rhetoric from most parties,  increase taxation and fine the public.

The carbon trading scheme is in political turmoil with each country basically trying to implement it in a "it costs everyone else money" kind of way..

On a personal level, I've turned off just about everything I can, implemented as many energy saving schemes as possible (some is harder in rented accommodation), I recycle just about everything, walk where possible and have registered the car with two carbon-neutral schemes which aim to either reduce carbon output by research into technology, or by carbon reclamation schemes.  I also don't holiday abroad and purchase locally produced food wherever possible.  However, this is not good enough, I know it's not, because the guy that lives in the big house and drives a limo tells me so...

The interesting thing to note, and I'm not saying that there is any more to it than an observation that it's been the "hottest day for XX" years and the wetest for YY and dryest for ZZ, with values of XX, YY and ZZ being completely different,  this suggests that perhaps climate change is a longer running process than the "it started last year and we're doomed in ten years" that is being proposed...  As I say an observation,  nothing more or less.

Manicminer:
Nobody knows what the 'real' weather should be. There's only been about 100 years of keeping records. It used to be warmer years ago, and it will be warmer again.
The weather we've had over the last few days are quite normal.

Highlander1:
