North Sea weather this winter

[PPRuNeUser129638]

I'm a paid-up member of the GW = Bollocks Society. While GW might be "measurable" by some scientists with vested interests, I'll go to my grave comforted by the certainty that the activities of mankind have a negligible effect on climate

Many top scientists have distanced themselves from the whole ridiculous GW gravy train.

Wikipedia (or Thickerpedia for folks like me) has a very good synopsis of this subject and related themes. Whilst I respect your right to be sceptical, your "many top scientists" remark doesn't seem to be supported. Rather, the reverse seems to be true.

There is a difference between speculating whether one bad winter is part of a GW pattern (which wouldn't be very scientific); thinking human activity has no bearing on GW (amongst climate scientists; very much a minority view); and believing there isn't any such thing as GW (akin to believing the world is flat at this point).

No scientific body of national or international standing has maintained a dissenting opinion; the last was the American Association of Petroleum Geologists, which in 2007 updated its 1999 statement rejecting the likelihood of human influence on recent climate with its current non-committal position.[2][3] Some other organizations, primarily those focusing on geology, also hold non-committal positions
