oi, you cant just rubbish scientests using hundreds of millions of years of climate averaging and comparing them to a few decaedes of study ffs!!

global warming as a coinded phrase was out long ago due to mis-understanding - its climate change now, almost in line with the countless millenia of climate change that have gone befotre us - but yes - taxing things is definatley the right answer tax will change everything in our delicate climate!!

Especially when ONLY the citizens of a tiny insignificant island in the North Atlantic PAY the taxes or take any notice of any agreements.......

google "bp oil spill north atlantic current" , seems the chemicals they used made the crude oil drop to the ocean floor and has affected the loop of hot/cold currents,

also google bp oil spill blue flu all makes an interested read.

Actually the amount of oil released in the spill was only twice that which seeps from the seabed every year anyway. Plenty of oil loving bacteria and organisms in the water there anyway which is why a year on people were amazed at how quickly it disappeared. Answer because it was a natural part of that environment anyway. Its not like Exxon Valdez.....

***** link.

NAC was alive and well in 2010 regardless of that link. Have a look at the MODIS data for that period. And for 2011 and 2012. And for the AMDAR data. Etc.

Where was that Dunk

A few blokes fishing had to be rescued off the Pier in Sunderland after what was described as a "freak wave".

Couple of mile further down the coast another couple had to be rescued after being washed out.

About 35 miles North of Aberdeen. Turns out it wasn't a freak wave but a string of large waves caused by abnormally high tides.

Note the sign top left, about 6-7 ft off of the ground, shows just how high the water reached.


This is whats left of one of the buildings, apparently there is a complete building and it's contents missing!



Photo was taken yesterday showing the same thing close to happening again. the sea is normally around 100-150ft from this wall depending on tides etc.


This Merc was found 250 yards down the road from where it was parked.


Some more damage.

That house was built in the 1700's and has never been close to being swamped before, it's being blamed on a spell of freak weather.
