So called Experts..

[Tailendcharley]

:)  :) Remember a couple of months ago when all the so called experts were warning us of a heat wave Summer about to hit this Country along with record breaking temperatures...well at this moment I'm looking out of my office window at torrential rain and I'm wearing my Winter clothing...so much for these so called experts....

Indeed but this is the hottest rain since records began at 915 this morning. :)

[martha focker]

its all due to global warming :twisted:

haha what a load of crap :D

[hairyasswelder]

Well im in a filthy factory, skiving, wishing I brought RR to work as it is all flooded around here, 1/2 the roads are closed and im in a rover 420  :oops:
have to go play later  :D

it's climate change I tell you, last week it was too hot, this week it's too wet, provided it's changed for next week it's climate change!

hmm, perhaps it's time I stopped watching the news :D

[SWEETY]

It ain't been hot :D forcast for the next few nights up here is for ground frosts :shock:  :shock: going to have to get the winter protection out for my Bonsai Trees

[Manicminer]

It's the start of the next Ice Age.
Next year the crops will fail . . . .
The year after it will be winter all through . . . . :lol:

[Lord Shagg-Pyle]

Personally I blame weather goblins. They are the ones that jump from cloud to cloud making all that racket. Them jumping about shakes all the rain out. They don't tell you that on the weather forecasts!

[Highlander1]

Well while all you poor sods have been flooded out in England-shire we have been basking in a heat wave !!!!!!!!!!!!! sun sun sun.

Thats what I call a turn up for the books.

Here's hoping you all get dried out soon, your insurance companies play fair and no one was hurt.

It cant last for much longer we will soon be back to normal it's just that the countries been turned upside down.

Take care keep your waders handy.

ah so thats where the summers gone then!

although we currently have something that could be called sun... (its not a dull grey out!)

[minty]

WELL THAY ARE RECORD BREAKING TEMPS ITS FLIPPING COLD  :shock:

[thermidorthelobster]

It does make me laugh...  we keep getting the most extreme weather (hot, dry, flooded, tornado-prone etc) since records began, and everybody thinks climate change is a load of rubbish.

Yeah, of course, everything is totally normal!  Climate change is a myth!  How the future generations will chuckle :twisted: .  Neville Chamberlain eat your heart out.

I wonder how many will stand up and be counted in 20 years when the Thames Basin's flooded?  I'll happily hold my hands up and say I was totally wrong if it's not;  but when your houses are underwater will you say to your kids, I was one of the ones who said it was all a big joke?

[datalas]

I'm not commenting that it's a joke, it's just that the only opportunity that has been presented for correcting the problem has been the same rhetoric from most parties,  increase taxation and fine the public.

The carbon trading scheme is in political turmoil with each country basically trying to implement it in a "it costs everyone else money" kind of way..

On a personal level, I've turned off just about everything I can, implemented as many energy saving schemes as possible (some is harder in rented accommodation), I recycle just about everything, walk where possible and have registered the car with two carbon-neutral schemes which aim to either reduce carbon output by research into technology, or by carbon reclamation schemes.  I also don't holiday abroad and purchase locally produced food wherever possible.  However, this is not good enough, I know it's not, because the guy that lives in the big house and drives a limo tells me so...

The interesting thing to note, and I'm not saying that there is any more to it than an observation that it's been the "hottest day for XX" years and the wetest for YY and dryest for ZZ, with values of XX, YY and ZZ being completely different,  this suggests that perhaps climate change is a longer running process than the "it started last year and we're doomed in ten years" that is being proposed...  As I say an observation,  nothing more or less.

Nobody knows what the 'real' weather should be. There's only been about 100 years of keeping records. It used to be warmer years ago, and it will be warmer again.
The weather we've had over the last few days are quite normal.

A well back to good old normal weather here hope you are getting the sun back cos were in the rain and Midge's again.

Feeling normal now the rains back, our Summer was in April.

I am thinking about everyone whose been hit with the floods wish you all a speedy recovery to normal if that's possible.

Best wishes & Kind Regards to everyone affected Keep you spirits up I can't begin to imagine what it must be like.

and i still expect the south east to have hosepipe bans......


and down here they are saying that the local reservoir is still not at 100% capacity.

Not to jump on the band wagon but there was a report done by a "expert" that the goverment sort of "lost". As it stated things like the hole in the ozone was only found when we had the eqiupment to mersure it and in fact it has gone smaller in the last few years And looks like something that has always been there getting bigger and smaller every few years. The ploar ice caps are melting but in the past they have melted much further back than they are at the moment. And most of the strange weather can be put down to the plant spinning in the solar system as we rotate around in the milky way the earth moves on its axes coursing a change in weather pattens and it takes something like 2,000 years to rotate around the milky way so this weather could be normal as no records exicst for the time it takes to do one full rotation of the soler system. He spoke a lot of sence in the report and if it ever comes to light again its worth a read.

It’s just one more day
No one said
There would be rain again
Won’t blame it on myself
I’ll blame it on the weatherman
Get away for a while
Here I am out on my own again
Won’t blame it on myself
I’ll blame it on the weatherman

Standing on the shore
Calling out your name
I was here before
I could see your face
Only clouds will see
Tears are in my eyes
Empty like my heart
Why do ya say goodbye

The rain goes on (on and on again)(repeat x2)

Alone I can hear
Hear our song
Playing for me again
Won’t blame it on myself
Just blame it on the weatherman

Standing on the shore
Calling out your name
I was here before
I could see your face
Only clouds will see
Tears are in my eyes
Empty like my heart
Why do ya say goodbye

The rain goes on (on and on again)(repeat x2)

Maybe it’s too late
Maybe it’s too late to try again
Maybe I can’t pray
Maybe I can’t wait
Maybe I can’t blame the weatherman

The rain goes on (on and on again)(repeat x2)

Oh blame it on the weatherman  \:D/  \:D/  \:D/  \:D/
