    I don't believe in this "World's going to end in 2012" bullshit, but recently, there have been major floods in 3 different areas of England in 3 weeks. And our weather pattern seems to be more ****ed up than it's ever been.
    The hailstone is huge, lightning bolts striking the side of the Tyne bridge, severe rain soon after we had a drought...
    It's all strange.

    Weather really is weird at the minute. We should feel reasonably safe though if the world is coming to an end that scientologists might chose to help us they are the only ones to be able to anything to help us after all.

    In the last series of Horizon there was an episode about it, it's called Global Weirding. I'm trying to find a link for a stream of it for you, but alas cannot. Although here's some youtube clips

    http://www.youtube.com/results?sear...3.3.0.0.0.0.116.241.1j2.3.0...0.0.CNlX4Ibi5i4

    If you use torrents and stuff I'm sure you may be able to find the whole programme.

    Anyway it was very interesting and explained why globally our weather is going to become more extreme in localised areas.

    Statistically, the weather's probably more stable now than it's been for millenia. The recent events are far from unusual in the great scheme of things. It's just the media feeding the fretful.

    This global warming doesn't seem to be working very well, I've left the car running and cut down a tree this morning, in the hope that it might brighten up this afternoon.

    Anyone who tries to explain the weather is an idiot. Theres this whole industry spouting sh1te. No one can predict the weather. Global warming is just bollocks.
    Just accept it and concentrate on more important things.

    Wrong pollutants Lambo, you're just adding to global dimming and extra rain with your dusty stuff. HCFC's are the future. <ok>

    Trying to smash the back doors off an old fridge sums up many a marriage. <ok>

    I think all this iffy weather around at the moment started the moment they put those drought orders in place, queue the rain. We had a dry winter etc etc, the reservoirs are below level etc etc, the water isn't seeping into the underground caverns etc etc, just wonder if they issue severe flooding orders we might get some summer weather? ;)

    Keely Donovan reads the weather.

    She looks a pleasant sort.

    That is all.
