We used to swim in that lake when I was a student there in the 60s. But like Bruce Charlton I'm far from convinced that warming (if indeed there is measurable long term warming) means worse, certainly doesn't for us folks living in northern latitudes. This year has been excellent for butterflies, bees and flowers. A couple of days ago I found a hedgehog in the garden, it's years since I have seen a hedgehog out and about, and there are newts in the garden pond. Nature loves mild winters and warm weather.Woodsy42https://www.blogger.com/profile/12355671210161625647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5524682876220396502.post-91019600674491270482020-05-17T17:21:34.701+01:002020-05-17T17:21:34.701+01:002009-10 and (even more) 2010-11 were two of the lo...2009-10 and (even more) 2010-11 were two of the longest coldest winters - which wasn't long ago. The years since have been mild, especially this past winter - only about half a dozen frosts here in Newcastle. <br /><br />But it is incorrect to say that things are warm-ing, because nobody can predict climate. No models are validated. Probably because we can't predict solar activity and the sun is (by far) the main driver of climate.<br /><br />But one effect of the climate emergency scam has been to convince people that warmer means worse. This is a strange assumption on a planet where ice ages have wrought such devastation - even mini ice ages caused famines and steep population decline. <br /><br />*Overall*, and in Britain specifically, warmer is better - as is high CO2 - because warmth/ hiher CO2 increases plant biomass.Bruce Charltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09615189090601688535noreply@blogger.com
