In Britain, within the last six months, we have seen the coldest December on record closely followed by warmest April. Some parts of the UK were three to five degrees celcius warmer than normal last month. These wide variations from the average temperature are consistent with predictions of climatologists such as James Lovelock and James Hansen who examine past climate records to help predict the future rather than purely relying on climate models. The science is clear; the build up carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is changing the climate.
It is another piece of evidence that man made activities are changing the climate by pumping industrial quantities of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere; quantities which the natural ecosystems cannot easily deal with. We are upsetting the homeostasis of the atmosphere at our peril. I expect that that there will be further more severe variations in our climate in the near future.
We have all been warned. Nothing is being done about it. Future generations should prepare for the worse.
