Re: Met Office Warnng
The scientific definition of "Climate Change' has nothing to do with the climate, it is all about a change in weather patterns, all of which have been recorded before.
About 1 million years ago Greenland was exactly that, a green verdant land, then came the ice age and it all changed.
But as to the green house gasses of methane and Co2, all are heavier than air so how do they contribute to a 'Green house' effect?
But today a warm 21 degrees some change from the weather on Monday at about 11.
But it is Spring so changeable weather is to be expected.
As to the beast from the East, does that mean Putin is coming to visit UK?

Re: Met Office Warnng
About ten years ago a climate scientist here said that it would be the last year we would see snow on the Victorian alps as Climate change as such that it would not snow there again.
Since then we have had increasing amounts of snow each season.
Yesterday they had the biggest one day fall ever recorded and the season which normally ends first week of October will go to the end of the third.
Good thing then is the thaw will fill the rivers and dams.

Re: Met Office Warnng
Our planet needs a total overhaul there has been
so much damage and man kind are the main
offender, to many seem to not see, our children will
inherit a total mess and we should all do more now
before it is to late. I cannot believe we are heading
to leave the worst for our youngsters.

Todays News said, Sumatra and Borneo , Indonesia are cutting and burning the Rain Forests again, smoke everywhere.
I wrote about it 30 years ago but no one will stop it. Not just the climate but creatures are becoming extinct.

Re: Met Office Warnng
Brian, big fires over there brought about not by climate change or any other such concept.
Brought about by farmers burning off the land to grow palm oil.
Yes man does do damage but not in the way many would believe.
The residue from those fires is little different to that from burning coal, just as with our bush fires.
