It's terrific that the Met Office will review 150 years of temp data. They will say the same thing they said the last time they reviewed that 150 years of temp data. Too bad no one will believe them. They have no credibility anymore. I wish them luck.
ReplyDeleteIt's true the scientific community including those that collate the weather data has suffered a severe blow to their credibility - with high percentages of people, both here in the UK and abroad reported as doubting global warming is actually happening at all.
ReplyDeleteIt's up to individuals to back their cause I guess. One thing everyone seems agreed on is pollution is bad and traditional fuels won't last forever.
We've written here before that even if you don't believe in global warming, then renewable energy does at least offer some payback and is therefore worth exploring.
Thanks for stopping by and sharing your views.
This is great, now they Met department will scan the data of 150 years. Then possibly they will be unavailable for some time as they would be busy in scanning old data, rather then there silly forecast.
