And why the last decade was easily the warmest on record and why the two warmest years on record both fell into that decade and why current global temperatures are close to record values, despite ENSO neutral conditions and the PDO being negative and.........etc. etc. etc.

Most people will know my views on AGW, but blaming a few gales and a very wet winter on it are ludicrous. A few months ago the long run of quiet winter's was blamed on AGW (reduction of N-S temperature gradient etc.)

Interesting perspective here http://magicseaweed.com/news/the-50-year-storm/6070/

Also, in Penzance

E.g Gales in Penzance

1993 13
1994 14
1995 13
1996 16
1997 14
1998 22!
1999 15

then
2008 1
2009 4
2010 2
2012 2
2013 2
2014 5 so far

So which were due to AGW, 1993-1998, 2008-2013, or 2014? All apparently.

I believe global warming could become a serious problem but please step back a bit and get agrip of the bigger picture!

THere's plenty of s**t spoken, by people who should know better, on both sides of the argument
