   Strike three means they get more money for a computer upgrade. After all, this is the government we’re talking about here.

   Three strikes and your out, works great here in America, but in the UK cricket rules must apply. Do not no why, ask your local MP why they keep giving the MET a pass. I would like to hear that anwser. But as the old saying is keep a stiff upper lip, but you blokes over there just keep leting them give you a fat lip. Not meaning to offend just a little sarcasm but some what true. Hope you get some warmer weather soon, i hate the cold myself

     “just keep leting them give you a fat lip”

     They are giving them something stiff but not near the lip.

   Winter has taken a bit of a break temperature wise over the UK, but they are now getting a pretty good wind and rainstorm. The cold is due to return by late next week.

   the met didnt give a prediction for winter 2010. the express stated they did because it made a nice story, but the met disowned the express story at the time.

     Yes they did. They put their winter forecast map on their web site. If they don’t believe their climate models they should disown them.

     More to the point Joe Bastardi forecast this warmer interlude over a month ago.

     If you were running a company that depended on seasonal forecasts who would you spend your money with? Joe or the corrupt Met?

       Piers Corbyn also forecast respites.

       It looks like Joe tweaked his forecast

       “That forecast for the big drop for 2011 was made back in March.. I may have been too slow, not cool enough. This La Nina means business”

   Zero sunspots today. That is the reason the met office are always wrong. They think CO2 drives the climate, when it is obvious to anyone with eyes the sun must have some influence.
   Solar max should have been around 2011-12 based on the 11 year cycle,

   If you look here:-

   http://www.woodfortrees.org/plot/sidc-ssn/from:1955/scale:1/offset

   It doesn’t look the maximum will amount to much.

   So another of the Met office’s predictions

   http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/corporate/pressoffice/2009/pr20090914.html

   With the key paragraph
   “One such internal fluctuation over the last decade could have been enough to mask the expected global temperature rise. However, the Met Office’s decadal forecast predicts renewed warming after 2010 with about half of the years to 2015 likely to be warmer globally than the current warmest year on record.”

   I think they are going to regret that.

     The sun effecting the earth’s temperature?!?!?!?!? That’s just crazy talk! Why that fireball in the sky is almost 100 million miles away!
