   “…..doing the mitigation stuff will be increasingly important. But it is equally important to see how you as a business will cope with those changes,” said Smith.”

   err, is the word “mitigate” different in England than it is here?
   mitigate—-lessen something: to make something less harsh, severe, or violent

   No, there is no limit to the stupidity of these morons.

     Maybe we can call for the mitigation of religious stupidity? It’s the least we can do.

   Drought, I win, floods you lose! Anything other than perfection is global warming, or at the very least, climate change.

   Water levels sometimes go down in the summer months, it’s attributed to it being the SUMMER!

   Summer is caused by the increased exposure to the sun due to the 23.5 degree of the Earth’s rotation axis with respect to the plane of the ecliptic, this means that as the Earth goes around its orbit the Northern hemisphere is at various times oriented more toward and more away from the Sun, and likewise for the Southern hemisphere

   A nice simple explanation is given here: http://csep10.phys.utk.edu/astr161/lect/time/seasons.html

     That is way to complicated for a “Climatologist”! It just has got to be caused by AGW!

       I know… Some things like the Earths rotation just don’t seem to conform to their agenda.
