Re. Global Warming. The temperature anomaly noted is a mere pixel on the long term temperature shifts. Remember, we are still coming out of the "little ice age" of only a few centuries ago. Furthermore, sun spots have much more effect on average temperatures than the reputed effects of "greenhouse effect". In summary, very poor science espoused by people with an agenda. Take it all with several grains of salt. Best to all, JRH

"A rise in average temperature of 2-3.5C, probably with greater warming in the south and east. Generally, the climate will be like Normandy, the Loire or Bordeaux, according to the amount of global emissions" Sounds good to me. The worst thing about living here is the weather. Seriously, I agree with John R Haley that this is pretty much BS anyway. First we hear about how pollution will cause a 5 year winter as the sun's light is blocked, then it becomes greenhouse effect (the better theory cos the radiation wavelengths emitted back from the earth are less likely to make it out of the atmosphere than the incoming radiation is likely to make it in). Heck, these scientists can't even agree whether sea levels will rise or fall with global warming. Some say the ice will melt meaning more water and higher sea levels. Others point out that most of the ice caps are under water and ice is less dense than water so in fact sea levels will fall when the ice melts. Anyway, as an Englishman who's an avid windsurfer, I see these predictions of warm and windy weather and say "Bring it on!".
