"Snow, blizzards, and icy blasts (espec North UK) during much of December as warned by WeatherAction 100day ahead made this NHS winter crisis worse. WeatherAction warned that BBC-MetOffice failure to warn of cold blasts, snow and blizzards to come in parts of December even 30days ahead was short-changing the NHS; the NHS winter fund top-up was too low WeatherAction warned. BBC ignored WeatherAction - putting their CO2 warmist deluded religion before the NHS and public well being. Labour, Tories and LibDems also put the CO2 warmist delusion ahead of public well being We will be back at BBC HQ Weds Jan7th from 12 noon - BBC Portland Place W1 Oxford Circus tube WeatherAction leaflet BBC Dec1st: http://www.weatheraction.com/docs/WANews14No44.pdf The STORMY mild spell to hit Britain & Ireland from 7th/8th (espec 8th onwards) was forecast by Weather Action 100days ahead and the BBC and Met Offcie still havn't worked out how bad it will be.

There was a perfectly ordinary short cold snap at the end of December, with some snow from the north Midlands northwards, but nothing to remotely justify Piers' apocalyptic warnings. I don't think it had more than a minimal impact on the NHS, whose current problems have other causes. Overall, December was a pretty unremarkable month weather-wise, even in northern England and Scotland. I don't know how he has the nerve to come out with stuff like this and then accuse other people of fraud. -- I'm not paid to implement the recognition of irony.

I was playing a league skittles match one night in December and I got asked about the blizzards, and I said "what blizzards?", the reply was "the ones the Met Office are forecasting". I just groaned and put them right. I also took the opportunity to point them to the MetO and Haytor web sites.

Even the Met Office falls into media alarmist jargon at times.

(And even the Daily Telegraph isn't above running alarmist weather stories from time to time.) Yes, but no one sane should take seriously what the Express says about weather, and while their readership can be pigeonholed as 'elderly', there are not that many of them. Actually, there are very few readers for any newspapers these days - poss. except the Sun, but Sun readers rarely care about the weather (unless it's presented on page 3.) I don't keep track, who provides weather 'forecasts' for which 'paper these days? (Clearly if the Telegraph article is by Philip Eden, it's worth reading - which I usually do). Also, unless they are suffering from dementia why would they take them seriously|? Clearly a lot of people /do/ take them seriously, even including Boris Johnson who, whatever his faults, seems unlikely to be suffering from dementia. I've heard/partly read what he said/wrote, but am not aware of the context. He likes to make jokes, and sometimes says things to provoke a reaction, or to make a point. -- Brian W Lawrence Wantage Oxfordshire |

WeatherAction warned that BBC-MetOffice failure to warn of cold blasts, snow and blizzards to come in parts of December even 30days ahead was short-changing the NHS; the NHS winter fund top-up was too low WeatherAction warned. But there were minimal "cold blasts, snow and blizzards", despite your forecast that "This will probably be the most extreme 5 days of snow blizzards and and gales in Britain and Ireland for 100 years" So why are you lying, Jim? snip a load of crap, even dangerous crap considering the alarm that your forecasts may have engendered among the elderly. So what about handing in a humble apology at the BBC tomorrow, Jim, as well as posting one here? Wasn't your previous post about fraud? -- Malcolm And if those elderly visited the UKMO website? Oh the irony. |
