You still haven't answered Phil's question. You've talked a lot of bollox
and thrown a lot of insults around and generally behaved like a patronising

It would be obvious to any disinterested observer that I have answered
Phil's question.

If climate chamge is man made, explain the Thames freezing over in 1607 and
1813, the freak heat wave in 1858 when temperatures hit over 100f, the
lowest temperature ever recorded in the UK in 1895, Britains worst ever
storm in 1703, or the great famine of the early 14th century caused by a
mini ice age.

The sceptics have a lunatic fringe that denies everything about global
warming but the warmers do not have the equivalent which would ascribe
all climate change to man's activities. The items you mention, assuming
they are actually real, are a result of the natural variability of the
climate of the UK which can be distinctly different from the climate of
the world as a whole which again has a considerable degree of natural
variability.

Large scale volcanic eruptions can have a major effect on world
temperature. The 1885 event above may have been close enough to have
been influenced by the 1883 eruption of Krakatoa.


Don't point to yet another Wikipedia page, answer the question.

Why ever not. It is often head of the list when it comes to a search and
has the added advantage of winding you up.
