We're 20 years ahead of predictions for rainfall.Looks like I was wrong about January
Wettest on record for 150 years in some parts of the Country. Another RECORD BREAKER...
Plus the fact that the rainfall we're getting now is what the climatologists predicted for the 2040's shows that the experts know nothing. Wednesday was a lovely day, bright and sunny. Put that in your pipe Johnny Expert.There will always be a wettest, coldest, warmest, windiest, driest, cloudiest, sunniest, record breaker, in one location, town, village, area, country, region or another.
It doesn’t mean there is a climate crisis, it just means that you’ve been brainwashed into believing that there is and you’ve found a statistic to support that brainwashing.
It’s just a big con to get you to scrap your perfectly good petrol car and replace it with a more expensive, more polluting electric car and scrap your perfectly good gas boiler and replace it with a useless, more expensive heat pump which doesn’t heat your house or water properly etc etc etc etc etc……
Spain, Portugal and South Africa are each seriously flooded. We have it easy
Last summer was so dry that there’s virtually no hay left for our livestock this winter already. Or is being dry as well as being wet a sign of climate emergency, I lose track of it all ?
An early contender for post of the dayI've got Climate Stockholm Syndrome
Gotta love statistics100% of the ones I looked at
The climate crisis is that bad it's seeing squirrels coming down from the trees to live on grass.

Jeez that’s bad. We’ll have polar bears doing their hunting on land if we’re not careful.The climate crisis is that bad it's seeing squirrels coming down from the trees to live on grass.

Beautiful, warm, sunny, early February morning in the garden of England. Heating’s off and about to have elevenses out on the veranda. I’m loving this climate crisis.
Cloudy but dry up here, and 11c, and our heating is rarely on, we had the house exterior insulated, besides that we're northern.

We're not having a normal January (alright February now) at all, it's been extremely mild. Saving me a fortune on heating bills, so it's not all bad, but we used to have proper winters and now we don't. Highgate Ponds, where I swim regularly, was only partially frozen for two days in January.
Large parts of Spain and Greece will be intolerably hot this summer.
None of this is normal, and the climate crisis is not a hoax.

It’s undoubtedly warmer in the UK now than it was 40 years ago. Does that make it a climate crisis though ? And even if it does there’s nothing we can do about it, as we are infinitesimal in terms of our population and output.
Until the US, China, Russia, India etc get on board and until we control the world’s population we are crying in the rain.
May as well relax and enjoy the savings and have another hour out in the sun listening to Mother Nature all around

None of us can carry the world’s problems on our shoulders, sure. But pretending there is no problem solves nothing. And we can each do our bit.
I’m quite concerned about the U.K.s declining bird population. It’s not hopeless though; the Atlantic herring shoals were recently in what seemed like irreversible decline, but a concerted international effort to manage fishing stocks turned that around. There are things we humans can do, to manage our impact on nature.
weather and climate are different animals. The weather could change in a trice if the wind changes direction. The climate is set on its inexorable course.
