Well to be accused of disinformation whilst repeating simple facts. My




point was simple really: someone maintains that the storms were due to




"global warming"/"climate change"/CAGW/greenhouse gases... I pointed out




the contrary and of course in uk.railway that's likely to ruffle a few




feathers because it is against the accepted dogma.








The problem is so bad with the lack of warming that the ideologues have




to invent imaginary heat sinks in the deep oceans in violation of the




laws of thermodynamics to explain the fact that the computer models have




never represented reality.








Periodically climate scientists come out with statements like "our




children won't know what snow is like" and there will be "20 million




climate refugees by 2010" to gin up enthusiasm and government grants.








Then there are heavily subsidised windmill farms that need 100% backup




with... diesel generators so the great British public spends three times




the real price of electricity.








It's a big con game.

And which scientist said it was? Oh, I see; copied from UK railway from someone with no qualifications called "David".



Another straw man used as disinformation by this far right-wing climate denier. As Adam said, it's just ********; not science.


Just to inform the ignorant one about the state of play in the actual science and to perhaps educate them that the place to acquire your scientific knowledge about climate change and the incidence of extreme weather is not UK..Railway and a person called "David", here's Julia Sligo talking sense:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-26084625

Climate change is likely to be a factor in the extreme weather that has hit much of the UK in recent months, the Met Office's chief scientist has said..

Dame Julia Slingo said the variable UK climate meant there was "no definitive answer" to what caused the storms.

"But all the evidence suggests there is a link to climate change," she added.

"There is no evidence to counter the basic premise that a warmer world will lead to more intense daily and hourly rain events."

Note the words "......is likely", in the first sentence. No scientist of Julia's stature would currently link a particular event, like the UK storms, or the cold in the USA, or any one the plethora of extreme weather events to climate change, but all know the state of play - "there is no evidence to counter the basic premise a warmer world will lead to more intense daily and hourly rain events."

Now go on, denier, try do the usual denier ad hominem on the excellent, world-renowned climate scientist who has, hopefully, provided some education for you. Or attack me - but I really don't care; all I do is to show you the actual science. Actually, no-one cares whether you learn from it, or whether you continue to get your science from denier blogs, or from "David" on UK.railway. *))
