I have loads of daffs out already - the heavy frost and snow this week seems to have given them a change of heart though - they look like they are tring to shrivel up and disappear into the ground

The "ice age" waffle was being banded about by the green nutters 20 years ago. When they realised that temperatures were still recovering from the last ice age they had to change their tune.

We had some daffs out in January in sheltered hedges here.

PSL came out with some knowledgeable facts about the weather then, wonder if he can tell us when it will get warmer now?

Here it is in all its glory:

http://www.junkscience.com/apr05/coolingworld.pdf

Note the graphs they are using which appear to show extreme cooling, just like the graphs being used by the same people today which appear to show extreme warming.

In saying that despite constant media bombardment it is interesting to observe that most of the general public still appear not to believe it and I know this has been of great concern for the green nutters who have been holding think tanks on how to change this. Of course they might change their PR firm but they can't change what science says and to quote Prof Lindzen, who is Prof of Meteorology at MIT:

"I must state at the outset, that, as a scientist, I can find no substantive basis for the warming scenarios being popularly described."

He also says:

"I assert that there is no substantive basis for predictions of sizeable global warming due to observed increases in minor greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, methane, and chlorofluorocarbons"
