BBC News is for the poshos, I have learnt that the top domainers and 'accountants' watch Jeremy Kyle and Trisha (thanks to BB99 & Mofo for letting me know the secrets of their er, 'success').

Well what is going on down at the met office?

These are the guys that predict global warming and say it's real, in 50 years our weather will change, 50 years? they can't even get it right for 3 months away.

Forecast for the 2009 winter, mild
Summer 2009, barbecue summer
Forcast for 2010 winter, mild with 1 in 87 chance of being a cold winter

These guy would seriously be better just flipping coins, hot or cold 50/50

Not sure who you have been listening to, but my grasp of climate change is that extreme weather will become the norm.

Going by the floods, bushfires, snow, stupid summers, droughts and blizzards it seems pretty accurate?

eg. hotter planet means higher temps for oceans, more evaporation... and more water to fall out of the sky....somewhere in some form

Wasn't mentioning the specifics of climate change but why would you listen to someone's predictions of something in 50 years when they can't get 3 months correct. It's like backing a footballer to score from 900 yeards when he can't hit the target from 6.

As for the climate balls, it's going to get hotter or colder, wetter or dryer and that will happen in any country of the world.

try going into a casino and telling them that roulette is the game, it's going to land on red, black or green, odd or even and by the way those odds aren't good enough so you aren't going to even tell them what table in the casino it's going to happen on, then we have climate change.....

Yes, those who are suffering population displacement now due to climate change are doing it as all part of some global conspiracy to boost the coffers of our new taxation overlords

Sea ice is retreating - thats visable with human eyes, you dont even need to believe we are in space to see the proof of that. When that land based ice melts, its going somewhere!


You should play 'them' at their own game, and get free money via the eco grants that are around, then you can make money !!

win win win

Things is though mate the ice is not retreating, Nasa's own satelites show it's not and there is more ice now than in the last 30 years. The earth has cooled over the last 7 years, that's climate gate was about, the global warming chaps were covering it up.

I don't know anyone who hasn't been displaced throughout history by some sort of climate change, The Mayan people failed due to climate change, that was 500 years ago.

Climate change is real, man made climate change is not. There is a ball of gas in the sky what burns at millions of degress centigrade, yet some think it burns at the same temperature and sends the same amount of energy to the earth every minute of every year, it's bizarre. That's leaving apart the magnetic solar storms that rage on the surface.

You want to see someone who can predict the weather, have a look at the guy who predicts it by observing sun spots, he's been banned from william hill for winning bets on his predictions, not sure you can say that about climate warriors.
