Not bad is it, November tomorrow and the weather’s glorious. Helping with energy bills as well no doubt.
I wonder if there are any 'sweet spots' in the world where climate change really is all positive (even if the rest of the globe is ruined)?
Not the UK obviously, with the increase in flooding and the 40 degree temperature record smashed. And the Gulf Stream threatening to move and bring us Moscow-type winters. And coastal towns under water. And summer droughts. And other bad stuff.
It shows what a nerd I am that I can still remember in infants school our class keeping a daily record of the temperature throughout November. It was 15 degrees on the first and our teacher told us that was warm for November - she was right when it came to that year because it was the warmest day of the month with temperatures tending be in single figures or up to about 12 when it got into double figures.
Apart from one morning early this month when it was cold enough for me to put the radiators on for a couple of hours, I’ve not had them on yet. I heard on the radio last week that the temperatures we’ve been having are more typical of August and yet global warming doesn’t exist apparently.
It's lovely on the beach

I've asked the following question in every thread on this subject and I never get an answer.
To those who say man made climate change isn't real, can you describe the physical process that scientists say is causing this? What is it about this process that you disagree with?
Still looking into it, but I have noticed that coming climate change legislation could have the ability to make everybody extremely poor, restrict movement, and change diets to genetically modified and lab manufactured nutritional sources. Based on that overview, I would want to be 110% sure that Bill Gates and his mates has our best interests at heart. How about you?
Climate change isn't an idea perpetuated by some elite few. It's probably the most widely agreed up scientific phenomenon in the world and has been for decades. It's been tested and confirmed by various doctors, scientists, academics and governments all across the world and from all walks of life and fields of research.
Even if the whole man-made climate change "lark" turns out to be a complete red herring, I have long argued for moving towards renewable forms of energy on the basis that fossil fuels will one day run out anyway. A whole new scenario faces us now which makes this even more necessary and that is the issue of national energy security. We should have learned the lessons of the 1970's when we had the likes of Sheik Yarmani and his mates holding the West to ransom over the cost of oil. Thankfully we are not Germany with their reliance on Russian fuels! It may be too late now to get all the infrastructure in place - hopefully not.
