So global warming must be over if we're getting cooler :donkey:Quote:

As far as I can tell, in the UK it means hotter and drier summers and wetter winters - weather becoming more extreme.
Not going to say a hot week in July is due to climate change but we're heading for this sort of uncomfortable weather (and worse) far more often be that in summer or winter. The UK's response is about 10-15 years behind where it should be and we're a good 10-15 years ahead of some nations.
True. Climate Change are the key words now.Quote:

Not only hotter but the hot dry weather lasted weeks, not just days. I know because a rode a motor bike to work every day through that summer and never needed to put on waterproofs for what seemed like weeks on end.Quote:

It was probably hotter 75 million years ago as well. But that isn't relevant to this week either.Quote:

Of course, if you weren't even born then...
People can post whatever they like, obviously.Quote:
