I read The Independent Online:

"In a startling report, the WMO, which normally produces detailed
scientific reports and staid statistics at the year's end, highlighted
record extremes in weather and climate occurring all over the world in
recent weeks - and linked them to climate change.

I have waited to reply to your post because I wanted to prove that there
would be little interest from this group in a very important announcement.

One of the reasons little action has been taken to counter global warming
is that meteorologists have remained uninterested in the problem, and
this gives entirely the wrong message to the general public.

Rubbish.

This news group does NOT equate to meteorologists, let alone to climate
researchers (almost none of whom post here).

Who are you to claim that "meteorologists have remained uninterested in
the problem"? Do you not understand that WMO stands for World
Meteorological Organisation - the publisher of the cited report and the
very reason for this thread - and that huge resources have been ploughed
into climate research over the past ten years.

That insufficient action has been taken is down to the politicians. You
know, the ones which hood-winked everybody over weapons of mass deception.

Exasperated Cheers,
