HOW WILL ADAPT TO CLIMATE CHANGE

"the way we've always done comrade"

"WHO SAID THAT"

Not one hand goes up for fear of losing their salary and very good
final salary pension in a world where the are becoming very rare.

OKAY COMRADES AND FELLOW LEFT_WING GREEN NUTTERS OF THE WORLD: NEXT ON
OUR AGENDA.

HOW YANKEE IMPERIALIST CAPITALISM GLOBAL WARMING WILL DEVASTATE OUR
GLORIOUS ERM. (capitalist thankyou very much)....... FIVE YEAR CROP
YIELDS.

ANY MORE QUESTION COMRADE FORECASTERS ABD INTERNATIONAL GREEN NUTTERS?

One hand raises nervously in the air.

"What happened to the last forecaster who asked a question?"

THAT COMRADE IS NOW EMPLOYED IN SALT DELIVERIES.

THE NEXT PRESIDIUM OF THE GLORIOUS CONGRESS OF FORECASTERS AND GREEN
NUTTERS WILL BE ATTENDED BY THE GREAT FATHER GORDON BROWNSKY.

Ok, this is all a bit tongue in cheek (or a couple of drinks!) - but
in your own way I think you are correct in principal. The Met Office
are just going with the flow. If todays fashion is global warming they
will go along with it and try and make money and as soon as the next
fashion of 'the coming ice age' arrives they will adjust their story.
It's just business - that's the way the system works today. I don't
believe a word any politician says and when it comes to tomorrows
weather I prefer to have a look at the satellite pic and draw my own
conclusions! (Doh, that is assuming they are putting out real satpics!)
