The next logical step…
They must be putting something in the water down in Exeter, Devon, where the UK Met Office is located, as scare stories are flying out of there by the dozen. The latest contains all the usual apocalyptic ingredients, as reported lovingly and unquestioningly in The Telegraph:
Heatwaves that kill thousands, tropical-style storms and widespread flooding could be regular features of Britain’s climate within a generation if global warming is not checked, according to the Met Office.
The forecast is part of the most comprehensive study into the impacts of climate change ever conducted. It shows the effects of global warming on Europe over the next 50 years and beyond. Unless pollution [?] from greenhouse gases is reduced, temperatures could rise by an average of 7.2F (4C) across the continent, transforming the landscape, agriculture and industries, it found.
In some parts of the far north of Europe, temperatures could rise by up to 18F (10C), melting the permafrost and wiping out endangered animals and bird species.
Southern Europe would become unbearable in the summer, destroying the tourism industry and making it impossible to grow staple crops like durum wheat for pasta in Italy and fruit and vegetables in Spain.
In Britain, floods and extreme storms would become more frequent, pushing up insurance premiums on homes and buildings.
In the summer, temperatures could reach 104F (40C) in London, causing heatwaves like the one in 2003 that killed an estimated 2,000 people.
More flawed models producing more flawed projections. We always knew the hysteria would get worse as the global warming bandwagon derailed, but this is verging on the ridiculous. Next week the Met Office are sending some poor bloke down to London to walk around with a sandwich board saying “The end of the world is nigh.”
Beyond parody.

Australian Climate Madness 
I just dont get it. On the one hand we are told that climate change (man made) will cause the deaths of billions, by the same people that say that there are too many people on the planet. Now if I was in there camp I would be saying bring it on, reduce the population, reduce CO2 emmisions in one fell swoop.
Any way, some questions that just keep going around in my mind.
1/ If CO2 causes global warming, where is the warming, CO2 level is still rising, temperature is steady if not dropping.
2/ Who the hell decided the optimal CO2 level, and on what basis.
3/ Who the hell said that a warmer global climate was bad, now I really do worry about a global cooling, that will be a real bitch.
