And what will be the excuse THIS time for yet another unseasonable cold snap? We are due snow again, up to 10cm.

I suppose they will trot out the usual, "You don't understand the difference between weather and climate", (Do THEY???)

How come when we have such a cold winter, it's weather, but when unseasonal floods washed out that Cornish town a couple of years back, THAT was climate change?

Yep, the climate is changing all right, and that is caused by global warming. The effects of which can be felt in the coolness of the globe. It's as clear as mud... I'm surprised you don't understand.

While refugees may or may not ultimately settle in a new geographic location, the term diaspora refers to a permanently displaced and relocated collective.


Your point is what dpb

It's quite clearly down to those who remove their CATs and re-map their cars ..... you have sacrificed the future for your pleasures of today!

Nope. Wrong again, Pete, it's global WARMING, so it must be down to old folk like yourself spouting a lot of hot air about Labour..........

Winter alwasy tends to have a last fling about now, like in October we get a few nice sunny days and get complacent just before it goes freezing, wet and the lights go off !

I had to buy more coal on Friday, thought the cold spell would have eased off by now.
