A Real Blue Meanie

[poliphilo]

We watched the weather forecast. A great, amorphous, blue bulge of severe stuff- a real blue meanie-  was burgeoning up from the South West. It swelled as far as Brummagem- where it was met by winds from Scandanavia- a hail of chunky, little arrows- which bounced against it and started pushing it back . Phew!  We northerners will be spared the worst. Nevertheless it snowed again last night.

They say this is the harshest winter for 18 years. 

And the planet is warming up?

That's true- we've had some ridiculously mild winters. This is more like it was in my childhood.

I'm a bit of a sceptic about global warming- mainly because I'm a contrarian. If everyone is lining up to tell me that such and such a thing is true I start wanting to look for the flaws in their argument.

My husband started as a sceptic, but after all the weather recording he did for his PhD, he is now convinced that the climate is changing.

Whether that's due to the activity of human beings or whether it's just due to us still warming up after the last ice age is a separate and much more complicated question.

I don't suppose we can actually answer that question. What annoys me is that the Al Gore faction have assumed the moral high ground without- actually- having proved their case.
