Talking Global warming? No, actually we're cooling, claim scientists

A cold Arctic summer has led to a record increase in the ice cap, leading experts to predict a period of global cooling.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/env...cientists.html

So, all us "climate sceptics" can pat ourselves on the back.

And ask for our carbon taxes back.

Didn't it start with Global warming, then they changed it to Global Cooling, then it was Climate Change? So now it's back to Global cooling? Wish they would make up their minds TBH.

one of the best bits of political spin in a long time...this is probably a SIAL (in fact I've probably posted it before), but it's worth it if you've not seen it before

Don't you think that is a bit revealing about the whole business?

They are a load of prongs trying to find something to make a fuss about!

Very, but they still feel the need to tax us on something they don't fully understand, it's quite criminal TBH.

Well, I'm taking it seriously.

In order to reduce my carbon footprint I've taken the Odour Eaters out of my shoes.

Nooooooooo - that is not enough!!!

You need to take your Odour Eaters to your nearest Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) depot for efficient sequestration lest the polar bears and penguins will face enormous sea level rises (and acid rain and global wierding and plagues of locusts and stuff).

So, nobody knows for sure?
And the weather changes from day to day?

Whoop-di-f&cking do!

Although I would like the government to keep this 'Climate Change' stance as the offshore wind farm is good earner for us!

So basically what they are suggesting is that they have just 3 winters worth of data and that is evidence of a long term decline.

The BBC have always been behind this global warming bollocks. If they want to be left-leaning, lentil munching greenies and pay each other hundreds of thousands they shouold scrap the licence fee and start showing adverts. At least the adverts would be more entertainment than most of the drivel that they currently show.

Maybe youre all too stupid to complain about it but still "pay" - "contribute" to, well nothing. According to them its happening anyway. Enjoy your merry selves at work on Monday contributing to the environment whilst everyone else destroys it

Basically, I had the final evidence of no global warming since we the amount of snow we had in March. Say if the snow came from the skies, and if the globe is actually still warming, then why the **** did it not melt sharpish, and why was I a captive in my house for a week FFS??? This global warming is nothing but a control tool. Religion has become too obvious and got caught out now, so let's use another bullsh!t to scare people, innit.

Did you hear that they now reckon that Wooly Mammoths died out as it became too cold, during the IceAge! Can't see that being man made
In the news earlier this week
