They said their speculative computer projections predicted warmer winters, due to global warming, but that didn’t happen; the winters got colder. So now they claim their speculative computer projection models predict colder winters due to global warming.

The only way the real world seems to enter into any of these computer projection, is when they see what is actually happening and then change their stories. So now we can all rest easy and get back into our 4 x wheel cars have some proper light bulbs and get rid of all those windmills, as all those scientists who were predicting catastrophic global warming were wrong, burning Co2 actually makes the the world colder.

The letter writer absolutely needs an “In my opinion” in his document.

One winter in one area of the planet proves nothing, other than the high opinion the letter writer has of himself.

Richard, the Arctic sea-ice reaches it’s minimum extent in September. However, at the North Pole, the Sun drops below the horizon on Sept 25th and doesn’t rise again for 175 days. So there is little or no sunshine to heat the water as you describe.

By contrast the Antarctic sea-ice, which has been increasing in extent, reaches its maximum in September – close to Antarctic mid-summer – when the days are long and sunny. So the increased Antarctic sea ice has a dramatic cooling effect – reflecting the sun back out into space.

So the net effect of recent global sea-ice changes is cooling, not warming.

Why is it that in the midst of summer at 30,000ft and the temperature outside is -33 degrees, why does this global warming not affect that, why doesn’t the heat rise any more? why doesn’t all this alleged global warming heat the athmosphere by a single degree?

President Obama made no mention of the climate change crisis in his State of the Union Address as Obama knows that the majority of Liberal voters are now former climate change believers. But that DOES NOT mean the Republican deniers won anything since the neocons will always put environmental protection last. So we are left with the same battles of finding new energy, continued pollution controls, population control, environmental awareness, clean water management and promising our children that we will all them a sustainable planet.
And note the “phrase” climate change was not a phrase, it was a scientific theory of runaway unstoppable and deadly continued heating of the planet leaving dire consequences of death for many species besides ours.

weather = conditions on the ground on any given day

climate = trend of weather over hundreds of years

get it?

its cold outside right now, but it will be sunny tommorrow, the weather is variable in the UK, despite its long term temperate climate

got it now ??

You can fool all the people some of the time, but there’s always some people you can fool all the time.

In the 1970s they were predicted an impending ice-age, but when it started getting warmer they invented CO2 based warming to “explain” their failure to predict the climate. So it got warmer for a few decades until 2001 when they predicted 100 years of climate warming with warmer winters etc. etc. … since when it has not warmed at all. So now they are predicting colder winters, or is it “weirder winters”.

Let me give a prediction! Like bird flu, swine flu, salmonella in eggs, the millennium bug and a host of other scares that are long forgotten, no government minister will ever admit they were taken in by these scamsters or admit that they wasted billions on trying to solve a problem that clearly did not exist.
