Weather v/s Climate
The Global Warming scammers are trying to spin this years winter.

SNOW CHAOS: AND THEY STILL CLAIM IT'S GLOBAL WARMING
AS one of the worst winters in 100 years grips the country, climate experts are still trying to claim the world is growing warmer.
With millions of Britons battling through snow and ice to get to work today, scientists claim that the cold conditions should not be used as evidence against man-made climate change.
Blizzards, ice and sub-zero temperatures that have gripped the UK for almost a month in a record deep freeze are not �robust� indicators of global weather patterns, they say.
Their claims come despite the fact that the rest of the northern hemisphere, from America to Europe and Asia, is suffering some of the worst winters in living memory.
Huge snowfalls are being witnessed from China and South Korea, across eastern, central and western Europe and to America where even Florida is struggling to record temperatures above freezing.
Last night critics of the global warming lobby said the public were no longer prepared to be conned into believing that man-made emissions were adding to the problem.
Long-term forecaster and trends analyst Piers Corbyn, of WeatherAction, said: �Global warming is a failed science built on falsified data. It is a sham to say that man has caused it.�
But Stephen Dorling, of the scandal-hit University of East Anglia�s school of environmental sciences, remained adamant that the weather should not be used as evidence against climate change.
But he added: �It�s no surprise that people look out of their window and find it hard to rationalise what�s going on with the longer term trend.�
And it is a shame that the businesses in England listened to their Met office (which was parroting the "warm winter without snow" shite that CRU was pumping out) and now they are short of natural gas and chemicals for de-icing the highways. Will they be held accountable for the increase in deaths caused by the colder weather when people are unable to heat their houses?
Here is an
interesting six-minute clip of Met Office head John Hirst defending his record to BBC interviewer Andrew Neil -- fascinating bit of body-language watching...
