Never mind the jokes Lawrence, I asked a serious question.
You talk of 'cooling ahead'. When will this said cooling lead
to an arctic sea extent comparable to the 1972-2008 average?

I could turn that around Col and say when will these said rising sea
levels threaten our coastlines. When will the said increase in super
sized hurricanes start. Or when will the said disapearance of
snowfall begin. When all is said and done there's nothing shaking
but the leaves in the tree. I'm still waiting for the last said
three BBQ summers and they were predicted by tn experts the Met
Office, and golly gosh if anyone knows about AGW then they do.
You've answered a question with a question, Lawrence.
I ask again:

The coming decade. Now answer mine.
Rising sea levels - nobody ever said we would be innundated
during the first couple of decades of the 21st century. It was
always a 50-100 year thing.
Super-hurricanes- *don't know about this one, you will have
to expand further.
Disappeareance of snowfall - Do you mean in the UK or in
the world in general? Do not allow a couple of cold & snowy
Decembers to delude you into thinking that the world climate
has changed.
BBQ Summers - I only ever remember one barbeque summer,
not three. You can take a swipe at the Met Office if you want to
but the scientific reasoning behind predicting the weather on a daily,
weekly or even seasonal basis is far removed from predicting the
general trends of AGW which take place over *decades*.

Well Col let's look at sea level rise from the IPCC in 1990 in their
first assessment under impacts in which they say
"These scenarios pre-date, but are in line with, the assessment of
Working Group I which, for Scenario A (Business-as-Usual) has
estimated the magnitude of sea-level rise at about 20 cm by 2030"
In fact the sea level rise hasn't even been half that figure so far
with levels actually now falling that means for the IPCC prediction to
come true we need to see a 15 cm rise in the next 19 years so it had
better get it's skates on
