'Global Warming' was the term introduced in the 1990's, to describe
the increase in global temperatures that started in the 1970's. But
then came 'the pause' in about 2000, and the underlying global
temperature stopped rising as fast, so climatologists changed the
phrase to 'Climate Change', in a truly Orwellian move (all animals are
equal, but some are more equal than others).

Since then, in efforts to spread alarmism and keep the world 'on
message' that rising levels of CO2 are going to be disastrous, every
gale, every forest fire, every monsoon, has been linked to Climate
Change, even though most of them are simply 'weather', and have
occurred before in either the recent or distant past, so cannot be
attributed to CO2 or rising global temperatures.

Why is it, for example, that winter storms are now given names, that
subtly link them to the naming of hurricanes? They never used to be.
We were told that polar bears were in danger due to lack of sea ice on
which to forage due to climate change; polar bears are doing very well
thank you. We were told that walruses hurled themselves over cliffs as
a consequence of climate change; it's since been shown that this was
simply a lie and they were chased by polar bears, a not uncommon
occurrence. Detailed analysis of the recent rate of sea level rise has
shown it to be not significantly different from the rate of rise in
the past, despite alarmist claims. And so it goes on...

Doesn't really matter, does it? You'll be long gone before it really
effects you. Same as everyone else on here.

Now if it had been the warmest...

The Beeb is now reporting -23°C in Braemar last night, the lowest
February temperature since 1955!

Well, that's global warming for you :-)

That is not for Little Englanders. It's in Scotland.
