A month ago I said:
“Personally I am not making any preparation or planning for unusually cold weather at the moment. However, should this period of cold continue for another month or more, or we see short periods of much colder weather, I will need to reconsider that view.”
Since then we’ve had about three days of super hot weather followed by cold cold cold. I really didn’t expect this cold weather to continue. Finally, this morning it was 10C this morning outside and 17C inside so I turned the central heating back on. This is ridiculous!
But worse! I really wish I hadn’t set myself a time limit last month – because to be frank the only thing I can think of doing now is saying “if it doesn’t get better … in a few more months…” and then … what do I do? Say “if it doens’t get better in a few years?”. So …
What now?
Here’s the link to your piece last month: http://scottishsceptic.co.uk/2015/06/25/is-scotland-experiencing-a-cooling-of-the-climate/
With the United Nations Climate Change Conference to be held in Paris later this year there seems to be a lot of attention accumulating over the oceans warming up below the surface [https://www.pices.int/meetings/international_symposia/2015/2015-Climate-Change/scope.aspx].
SSceptic, I’m think you might have already addressed this subject, but having spent about half an hour trawling your blog, I haven’t been able to find anything.
Can you or your readers come up with any arguments against this view please?
Thank you,
John
Thanks for reminding me to put the link in (brain slip).
On the oceans temperature – when the surface data has been so clearly and unequivocally “up-justed”, it would be a waste of time me discussing the subject of ocean temperature.
Put frankly, if they so blatantly dishonest about surface temperatures which can be verified, when it’s largely the same people, what’s the point in discussing the data which is far worse in coverage and which cannot be verified.
And to be honest it doesn’t matter. The predictions were for surface temperature and unless or until they admit those predictions were wrong they have no credibility.
