What a lot of phooey. This weather we`re having is normal for this time of year. I`m 73 and can remember it being the same as this when I were a wee buck, so relax and have a nice cup of tea.

Global warming is happening I'm afraid
Global warming would happen even if we weren't living here; it's how the earth works
I'll partake in a cuppa with you though :)

its cyclical, its all happened before but they never called it global warming last time
the planet heats up and cools down and changes all the time, this is not the first
i think its just scare-mongering

Weeal is right but it's more than scare-mongering. It's an excuse for new and bigger taxes.

maybe if you are retired you need not worry. but think about your grandkids, and their grandkids. because global warming is here and is only to get worse. true that there have always been greenhouse gases damaging the ozone layer, to increase infrared radiation on earth.
it is'nt the global warming thats the problem, but the rate of change, we've had it for ever, but since the industrial revolution its took off at a pace.
it took millions of years for the carbon to build up in fossil fuels, and we're releasing it in a hundred as carbon dioxide, firstly coal then oil. more recently its cfc s and hcfc s from fridges, carbon monoxide from cars.
the oceans and rainforests can t cope anymore to clean our atmosphere. look what s happening to the ice caps, draughts, floods.
keep your head buried in the sand ! unless people change their lifestyles, things will only get worse.

Apparently, if the polar ice-cap melted global sea levels would rise by about 34 feet. If temperatures rose by 6 degrees Celsius from current levels, it would only be possible to grow crops to feed one fifth of the world’s population.
Looking on the bright side, if we’d been heading for another Ice Age instead (which will happen sooner or later), that would be even worse. They’d blame that on something, too.
I agree that it’s just an excuse for stealth taxes! What happens in the UK is totally insignificant compared to what China is chucking out, anyway.
