Me too and as would any scientist. However, sensibly, no scientist has claimed that the current UK flooding *is* due to climate change.



Someone called "David" on a railway newsgroup has said that "someone" has said this and one of the group's deniers decided to set up a straw man by copying his totally anonymous (and incorrect, if it is directed at a scientist) claim on here.



You can bet your boots that one of the group's deniers will say, at some time soon, that "scientists have said............." - probably because they read this straw man thread and believed it. shakes head. It's how they work.

Instead of criticising those that are fed up with the MSM, the AGW blogosphere and the Whitehouse blaming heat on AGW, then blaming cold on AGW, maybe you should vent your spleen on the people that exaggerate and paint pictures of global catastrophe. You know people like your mate 'Old Man in a Cave' who actually said four years ago in his blog that you ingratiated yourself; that the arctic would be ice free before 2013!!!!

But of course you will fail or better still avoid the response as it shows you up for the prat that you are. Let's face it I'm still waiting for a couple of scientists names from that remaining 99,960 of hundreds of thousands of AGW scientist.

I'll dig out the bet you offered on the arctic being ice free about 5 years ago.
