Is it all a big con ? Ive had too come in, too bloody cold out there and the snow n hail stones don't help.

Global warming ? Not in my back yard.

Propaganda, that's all it is.

Catch a bus and together we'll save the planet. Scrap your car, buses and trains are so reliable these days (or so I'm told).

No more blowing off 80kg of refrigerant on a saturday morning, fix the plant by dinner time and booking the whole weekend to it

I blame the French.

nice view there jon! I had hail nearly as big as peas!

yep the same story in the midlands, hail and heavy rail but its all true.

earth heats->ice caps melt->sea levels rise-> water evaporates-> and then it pi**es down over your house i feel sorry for the guys building in their back gardens and not in a garage!

it has been wierd in runcorn too, it has been alternatly sunny then pissing down with rain or hail for 5 mins then sunny again! is annoying for working on the car, no garage to hide in!

i know that this winter and early spring has been cold because of the predominant winds have been from the artic, bringing cold winds down and freezing us all! has made kite boarding a waste of time as there is no clean winds to board with!

also being an oceanographer i can say that if global warming does occur, which by all accounts it appears to be. it will get colder in the british isles as the gulf stream will not be transporting heat to the higher latiudes, ie up in blighty! this has been portyed in the recent film the day after tomorrow. however that was abit OTT in reality.

We have an ice age every 10k years years give or take! the planet has to warm enough in the first place to effect a global change before this can happen.
Just grab ya hat and scarf, and get some winter tyres on yer car
