![]() 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 Graham Penzance |

David 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. I didnt think it would take this long for Garvey to get back to his usual form, whats it been, a month while he has been sucking up to people and trying to be nice? Thing is, Garvey, it isnt about one scientist single statement about one storm, its about many scientists and many statements over many years that imply CO2 is responsible even if they dont come right out and say it. "But all the evidence suggests there is a link to climate change," Now, down to the facts. The sea wall at Dawlish as been breached a number of times before. What is the evidence in this years breach she is talking about? Is there a particular way it breached, a particular effect, pattern, anything at all that suggests CO2 is responsible? |

What evidence? The wall at Dawlish has been breach before, Somerset floods, often. Where is the evidence of any correlation with CO2? |

One thing to note is that I think it is more the increased tendency of the jet stream to get locked in place giving prolonged periods of one weather type which has possibly been attributed to declining Arctic sea ice. This can give both scenario's, constant mild and wet, or constant cold, depending on where the jet stream is locked relative to the UK. Will as said on UKWW that he thinks there has been a change in the UK climate since about 2006, that the UK climate is losing its variability, and prolonged weather regimes are now more likely. It will be interesting to see if any research papers come out in the near future which addresses what causes the jet stream to lock in place like is has done this winter (and the 2012 summer). |

Absolutely true and no-one has, except someone called "David" on UK.Railway.. A denier did the usual trick of using it as a straw man and another denier copied it to the newsgroup. That's how they try to spread disinformation. That's why it is important to stress the science and make sure these people are challenged robustly when they attempt this "s**t". PS Like I say, attacks on me and others, showing these people up, only serve to show the paucity of denier "arguments". Hilarious really. Graham Penzance |

Well said. However, Will's opinion is just that; an opinion. There is very little (no?) science to back it - yet. |
