Could someone re arrange my italic tags above and delete this :) ta…

REPLY: done. Anthony

I’d bet more than 10% of the country will have experience a heat wave (as per Met Office definition) – indeed Doncaster (in your Yorkshire I believe) reached above 26C yesterday (and is 25C as I write) as did some other reporting station in the area.

With places all over the country already above 25C this Wednesday morning (Aberdeen, Inverness, Doncaster, Benson, Manchester, Ross on Wye much or the Area around London for example) it now looks that 32C or 90F may very well be reached either today of tomorrow somewhere in the UK – if it happens that is an unusual event.

The fact is that throughout 90% of the UK, temperatures have been either average or slightly above average over the past week. Here in Yorkshire, this past June has been mostly cool with below average temperatures punctuated with around 5 or 6 days of moderate warmth with an unremarkable and entirely expected 24c being the maximum temperature in my area.

“Not exactly. If a country wants to trade with the USA that country will have to have at least as stringent laws as the USA. Otherwise there will be import duties (tax).
At least I saw that mentioned – haven’t been sent a copy of the full text yet”

That sounds like a good plan for massive inflation.

Right Steven, but that is not all.
What to think about consumer freedom, the freedom to choose a product!
And the fact that we will have much less products available.

These are measures which will bring us on the level of the former Sovjet Economy
that we have destroyed by the concept of a free market economy.

This country is run by geniuses holding the standards of real apparatchiks.

Do you already imagine the cues in front of the shops?

““But, then, perhaps I’m the only person here ever to have actually met and listened to a scientist from the Hadley Centre,”

WRONG”

That’s good!

There was a time, many years ago, when I actually believed what they said. Then I started doing my homework. Now I don’t believe what they say.

In adition to my earlier posting: I welcome the MoD to the skeptic community.

Oh I wish!!

An MoD spokesperson said the cuts, which take effect immediately, were made with the intent of “prioritizing success in current operations, such as Afghanistan”.

The Met Office is reportedly in negotiations with its other funders – including the Department of the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, and the Department of Energy and Climate Change – to recoup the lost cash. ®

2 Points;
1) Interesting use of the phrase “Success in Current operations” !

2) “Other Funders”
Dept of the Environment, Food & Rural Affairs” – UK Government
Dept of Energy UK Government

And there I was thinking that our wretched “government” was, at last, trying to save money! Should have known better.

I say Sell off the Met Office to private enterprise so they have to compete commercially. Then they may have some incentive to get their forecasts, all of them short, medium and long term, right (or at least more right than hitherto.

WRONG”

That’s good!

Maximum temperature 27C or above again today across many part of England – so in the very warm to hot category for our country.

AnonyMoose (19:12:57) :
I forecast an increase in predicted temperatures of 25%.

M. Simon (13:12:37) :
…Another reason not to give up on coal prematurely: reliable sources of electricity will be required to run the climate models.

These remarks have made me laugh. Altough this sense of humour is only a minor one from the main characteristics which are making this site even better, but it adds a lot to the overall atmosphere. Comments and remarks like these are completely absent in the case of all major pro-AGW sites, including Realclimate, Climate Progress and Tamino/’Open mind’…

“”Our financial security will be threatened by this sceptisism about climate change, and the MoD is hopelessly wrong to think that they were purchasing honest science”" climate scientist Martin Parry told Nature.
