Of course Will, I have to concede to your superior meteorological

in that you feel AGW is causing changes in the weather patterns and
therefore weather extremes as Alastair pointed out in his initial post.

Not AGW Lawrence but Climate Change (there is a difference).
All the paper is saying is that weather types are persisting longer in any
one spot, and I was agreeing with that.

I thought it was saying that the Jet Stream is meandering more than in the
past, although I am not sure which Jet Stream; polar, sub-tropical or both.

The paper was written in Potsdam University so it won't be aimed at the UK
weather.

What is a blocking? Is is when the Jet Stream gets stuck to the West of us?
