Climate change - the POLITICAL debate. Vol 3
Discussion
Most assuredly Sir, though hast spake 'BUGGER'
Whether this term 'BUGGER' should be classified as noun or verb - which the Beeb will no doubt be of assistance in determination - this word 'BUGGER' may have origins in Anglo-Saxon terminology.
It is a 'top' word is 'BUGGER' - there can be no mistake about that!

It looks like we need to prepare for winter power cuts and other short- to mid-term consequences. Timing is as unpredictable as weather (and the climate).
Hopefully, a few power cuts and the Green blob gravy train might just hit the buffers or is that wishful thinking??It looks like we need to prepare for winter power cuts and other short- to mid-term consequences. Timing is as unpredictable as weather (and the climate).
I appreciate this field is occupied with an unholy quantity of neologisms, but that's a new one on me. Is it possible to be sentient and be sceptical that the climate changes? It's clear what the context and meaning is; exactly what it was when they started calling people climate change deniers. Set those strawmen up and knock 'em down; way to go BBC!

maybe not as surprising a position from the tories as one might think. http://www.cpexposed.com/latest-news/common-purpos...Have we had the Beeb's coverage of the 'el nino' effect later this year - but towards the end of the piece is this gem;

Another BBC spokeswallah said that this could spell the end of the climate change pause. So there IS a pause! And why would a well documented intermittent phenomenon have owt to do with MMGW anyway?"Another strong El Nino event was expected during last year's record-breaking temperatures, but failed to materialise."

Hardly! What the BBC needs is a pollster to look into ENSO 2015 and get things straight. "Another strong El Nino event was expected during last year's record-breaking temperatures, but failed to materialise."

Mrs TB caught some of that ^ but as I don't watch or listen to the BBC by choice, I missed it. Then again I get regular email updates with the NOAA imprimatur (not a psychic octpus, yet) and as of April the ENSO Alert System Status Report had this to say: "At this time, there is also considerable uncertainty as to how strong this event may become. In summary, there is an approximately 70% chance that El Niño will continue through the Northern Hemisphere summer 2015, and a greater than 60% chance that it will last through autumn."
Early signs of strengthening this month have already been clasped to the bosom of believers praying for a record in 2015.

Love that article. Full of very unscientific words such as "could" ; "potential" ; "doubt" ; "predict" ; "might" ; "cannot" ; "precise" ; "likely" ; "trying" ; "improve" : "expected" ; "failed" : "likelihood" ; "unknown" ; "can". So that's the science settled then."Another strong El Nino event was expected during last year's record-breaking temperatures, but failed to materialise."

We're all going to drown! Maybe, in a century or two, or maybe not.

So, 21,235 sq miles of ice drops into 361,900,000 sq miles of water. Which is an increase of approx 0.006% by area. Or 0.00037% by vol. Oh wow, we're all going to drown !!!!http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-307...

"Extract: "It has been hypothesised that this disintegration could raise sea levels by approximately 3.3 metres (11 ft). (If the entire West Antarctic Ice Sheet were to melt, this would contribute 4.8 m (16 ft) to global sea level.)" http://forum.arctic-sea-ice.net/index.php/topic,31...it really is worth going over there for a laugh . i have a £1000 bet with jim hunt that the arctic will not become ice free (even gave him the warmist definition of ice free ) by 2022 . the summer arctic melting season thread will reach the usual crescendo over the next couple of months ,with shrieks of blow torches being taken to various arctic regions based on modeled weather forecasts that bear little relation to what actually happens on the ground. it is hilarious to watch unfold,particularly the crushing disappointment when the ice steadfastly remains for yet another year.
i think the record for a sceptic posting is about ten posts before banning ,anyone want to try and beat it
Apparently there has been too much ice in the Antarctic for some years ...

Rob Wooding said that resupplying Australia's Mawson Station -- the longest continuously operated outpost in Antarctica -- relied on access to a bay, a task increasingly complicated by sea ice blocking the way.
Wooding said that at Mawson, the ice typically only breaks up for one or two months of the summer, but in the last four to six years this has not happened every year, and some years only partially
"In the 2013-4 season we couldn't get anywhere near Mawson due to the sea ice and we had to get fuel in there by helicopter which is inadequate for the long-term sustainability of the station," he said, adding that the French and Japanese had similar problems.

I find it hard to believe, that even after an expert can state that the various pieces of 'evidence' being thrown at him all wrong, people still don't believe him.
Australian university's decision to forgo a federally financed research center because of its links to a controversial Danish researcher has prompted a firestorm of criticism and accusations that Australian academe supports “soft censorship” over academic freedom.
