Britain’s top climate scientist is being criticized for linking the recent deluge of winter storms and floods to global warming.

After the UK’s Met Office released a report on “extreme weather,” the office’s chief scientist Dame Julia Slingo said that “all the evidence” pointed to global warming playing a role in the harsh winter weather.

“In a nutshell, while there is no definitive answer for the current weather patterns that we have seen, all the evidence suggests that climate change has a role to play in it,” Slingo said.

Slingo’s remarks came after Prime Minister David Cameron said he “very much suspected” a connection between harsher winters and global warming. Scientists, however, have criticized Slingo, arguing that there’s not enough evidence to link extreme weather to global warming.

Didn't Hussein say the very same thing while golfing this past weekend?

OK!! Everybody pay attention!

Lesson for today:

1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.

2. The sun is a ball of fire that controls the climates of all its planets.

3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.

4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.

5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.

Even the Danes in 878 AD knew which areas were swamps and subject to flooding...

The opposite of “climate change” is “static climate”.
Libs are really pushing the myth that climate would be static if we stopped carbon dioxide pollution.

[B4Ranch]

Static - showing little or no change, action, or progress.

With a static climate does that mean it would always be the same temperature?
