Thirty-three years ago this winter.........
..........the same scientists, government departments and media that are now warning of doom because of global warming/climate change, were then warning us of imminent doom because of

.The next ice age
. And Auntie Beeb was at the forefront of the doomsayers, just as she is now
Apparently, the next ice age was here, on it's way, on top of us, we all needed to cut back on this, that and the other so that energy could be put into heating and lighting, but even if we did, only 10% of the world's population would survive it anyway, probably at the tropics
It went the same way as global warming IS doing, and climate change WILL
Apparently, scientists were mistaken, the sun was just going through one of it's least active phases, just as it's recently been VERY active.

Ah yes. Just coming to the end of the longest, driest summer I could/can remember. Didn't rain (in Cornwall anyway) from April to September. Spent just about every day in the summer holidays in the boat out fishing (River Fal). Those were the days ......

I was in Cornwall in 76 
and 77 which was almost as good 
The winter between the two was the hardest I remember
The climate today is noticeably cooler than yesterday I feel
I wonder if I should pay some more TAX to somehow offset this event 
I'd better do some overtime too as they are forecasting some light snowfall on the hilltops of the Yorkshire Dales this weekend

As said we should all pay more taxes and drive environmentally friendly cars, together we'll save the world!

Whenever it gets a bit drier, or a bit wetter,or a bit colder, or a bit warmer than is usual for the time of year, or even at the right time of the year, they immediately start to mention GBW in a "sideways" manner just so that we don't forget what they keep telling us!
