relatively flat in the last decade mostly due to heat transfer between upper

"The Arctic has warmed significantly more than the rest of the globe..... "

"Europe The average temperature for the European land area for the last
decade (2003-2012) is 1.3°C above the pre-industrial level, which makes it
the warmest on record."

"Extremes of cold have become less frequent in Europe while warm extremes
have become more frequent."

"Since 1880 the average length of summer heat waves over Western Europe

When they take all the trees and put them in a tree museum and people went to Granada to see Coronation Street and not the Caribbean. Whatever happened to that show?
A weird paradise and I think we all lost the plot.

Wasn't 1880 the year of living dangerously?
In Stoke on Trent there was a pottery kiln in every street. Consumption was on everybody's lips. And good old British Management ruled the waivers.
But at least the weather was getting better?
It must have seemed like a bargain!
