      I think it's ludicrous. Just think; the weather's unusually cold. How is this explained? Oh, of course, industry creates CO2 which traps heat which melts icecaps which decreases salt concentration of seas which slows gulf stream which makes Britain colder.

      Yeah. That's not farfetched at all. Not. It's time the hippies went to hell. Saying that cold weather is evidence of global warming is just... ahrgh. I'm not trying to make people realise this any more, because slowing down oil consumption is a good thing... but the stupidity of it all does bug me.

      Jebus. Are you really so silly? Do you know how cold Europe would be if it wasn't for some hot ocean stream? It's on the same longitude as greenland for feck sakes. I can believe it doesn't take much to slightly change such an ocean flow. I mean, you don't honestly think this is an argument agains global warming, do you? If you knew something at all about climates, then you would know that some regions getting colder is exactly what you expect if the overall temperature goes up. Unlike in star wars, a planet doesn't have the same climate and temperature all over it's surface.

      No, I never said that. What I'm saying is that claiming a fall in temperature is evidence of global warming is a step too far.

      Localised climate readings aren't evidence for or against global warming, it's the averaged climate over the whole globe. (which does show evidence of global warming, if you were wondering)
