Freezing my tits off

Hm.

Cold weather is expected to continue, with lows of -10C forecast for southern England and Wales into Wednesday.


And:

BBC weather forecaster John Hammond explained that the current freezing conditions have been caused by an outbreak of Arctic air which has swept across Scandinavia and over the North Sea.


But I thought all the ice had melted in the Arctic, so where is all this cold air coming from?

Temperatures are still a long way off the record low of -27C (-16.6F) in northern Scotland 14 years ago, and the current cold period is expected to ease later in the week.


Hm. So 14 years ago, it was the coldest it's ever been. But the temperature has been rising since the development of the car? How can it have been extra cold 14 years ago? How come it's colder this year than it was last year? If the temperature is relentlessly marching upwards, according to Nobel Laureate Al Gore, something is wrong. Because Al Gore can't be wrong, can he?

The climate beardies have predicted that 2009 will be a super-hot year.

Not looking good so far. I hope they bet their last penny on it.

Its all to do with the European fish mountain. The huge cold stores have been opened up to distribute fish to the Ukrainians who in turn trade it for Russian gas. Ever since we lost our fishing fleets we too have had to rely on the gigantic hidden secret stores of Norwegian frozen fish stocks and its when they open the doors at both ends the through draught blows ultra cold air in our direction. You can always tell because it smells very fishy.

Obo,

I wonder if I could ask you politely to remove a post you made over at my place.

With thanks

'Climate beardies'..?

That'll be our last penny then. They never use their own money....

Having read the rest of that thread, OH, I fucking wish I hadn't now.

A few years ago I rushed off to the Maldives on a big fule guzzling jet having been told they weren't going to be around for much longer and certainly not for that price. What a waste of time....

No, Al Gore and his ilk cannot be wrong because there's no money to be made (or taxed) with the opinion that espouses 'the weather and climate is changeable. Always has, always will'. Meh.

*ahem*

It's not "cold", it's "natural fluctuations masking the underlying warming trend". Even my little lad knows that!

*/sigh*

...if it will improve your disposition, I will resign from the LPUK and take no further part in this discussion.....
Obo, please, I didn't wish to get involved, but this isn't necessary.

PLEASE, whatever you do, don't quit over this little fight. We'll all be laughing about it next week, so it's not worth it.

You don't get it do you Obo?

You used the LPUK blog to reveal my name, address, phone number etc. because you disagree with my stance on Israel and presumably my resignation.

Remarkable.

We will have to see what the consequences of that little adventure will be, but if I was looking to join the LPUK, I'd be running a mile and if I was IN the LPUK, I'd be very worried indeed.

This is not some little forum we are talking about. It is a national, political party. And boy, did you just blow it.

I didn't do any of that, Old Holborn: YOU placed all of that information, all of those photos in the public domain.

There's no point trying to blame me for that.

I made the same post on your blog and I made the same post on GC. Despite the fact that you're trying to throw up a smokescreen about your personal details, they have nothing to do with your hissy fit.

There is proof on GC, GOM and now on blogger that Old Holborn is a tantrum-ridden toddler who will dream up any old bollocks to hide the fact that he's been rumbled as a fraud.

A spot on post mate.

I only checked you out cause of what you did to Old Holborn who I visit most mornings. This is dumb stupid stuff here on your blog Obnoxio and judging by your gratuitous obsessive homophobia I think you may have some personal growth to make in that direction before you out anyone else.
