Researchers believe arachnids arriving in imports of food and plants are now able to survive and spread thanks to the UK's increasingly mild climate.

As you can see, I can come up with many examples of climate change. Year to year weather changes are not the key to understanding GW. You need to look at the climate not the weather.

Why then are weather related items such as coldest winter on record in many parts of the World, NOT considered part of the data? I believe that the data received by the media is directly relative to the grants received by those posting the data. The people pushing a Global Warming agenda are in it for the money. There is no money in denying GW. No carbon credit scam. No big World government grants. Only getting the truth out to the masses that bought into crap like the Al Gore fictional movie.

Replying to: avalon02wh (Oct 15, 2008 3:30 am) You beat me to it and saved me the trouble. Thanks !!!! Illinois: Temperatures were much warmer across Illinois this past week. Producers are reporting a decrease in corn moisture levels, but most are still choosing to harvest soybeans first. There were 5.8 days suitable for fieldwork. The average temperature was 6.6 degrees above normal. Financial meltdown just a curtain-raiser to what we face with global warming Like subprime assets, carbon assets keep many complex risks hidden from investors. Cost impacts from extreme weather events and legislation on greenhouse gases are expected to emerge as risk factors in pricing stocks and assigning credit and asset valuations. A warmer planet is joining capital and labour as the new resource constraint likely to alter production costs. And carbon emissions are also likely to increase the size of liabilities in key industries, from power plants to airlines. Climate change will affect all parts of the financial services industry and all classes of investment. The global electricity market is worth trillions of dollars a year and energy is fundamental to economic growth. And, with $US6 trillion ($A8.5 trillion) in market capitalisation, the banks will play a critical role as they are the world's capital providers and the lead risk management experts.

Replying to: avalon02wh (Oct 14, 2008 3:34 am) That would require that we stop breathing. I'm sure that is the ultimate goal of such GW/CC kooks. To those radicals I say "YOU FIRST".

Replying to: avalon02wh (Oct 15, 2008 3:30 am) Unless, of course, you are an advocate of man made GW. Then it is perfectly alright to cite every little weather blip to to forward your agenda. |

Replying to: avalon02wh (Oct 15, 2008 3:30 am) The fact that the climate has changed, is changing, and will continue to change, is not in dispute. The problem is to discern if the current change is any different than what has historically happened (and we're not just talking the last 200 years), and is it caused by man. Secondly if there is change, is it necessarily bad? I don't see a warming as bad, for many reasons. I tend to see the glass 3/4 full on any warming. I hope we all have Hawaii type weather and environment soon.
