The UK may be cold, but it’s still a warm world, says Met Office chief
By Steve Connor, Science Editor
Tuesday, 21 December 2010Professor Slingo, who is in charge of Britain’s biggest research team investigating climate change, insisted that global warming was a reality despite the bitterly cold temperatures and heavy snowfalls that have brought much of the country to a standstill.
“This is not a global event; it is very much confined to the UK and Western Europe and if you look over at Greenland, for example, you see that it’s exceptionally warm there,” she said.
Disrupting the Borg is expensive and time consuming!

lol, I remember it well. Oddly, she didn’t understand that the warmth in Greenland wasn’t a global event either. Nor did she see that it was to be very short lived.
I’m wondering how much one can get paid for being so blatantly clueless? If I drink a lot, I can be just as daft as those people!…… well, almost as daft.
Gee, what would someone “who is in charge of Britain’s biggest research team investigating climate change” say?
Isn’t the role of government to keep some sort of reins on people like this? In a rational world, very few people would even know who this person is. She could have a nice career just plotting temps on a graph and maybe modeling the data. Somehow they figured out a way to scare people into making them incredibly important.
Really, some powerful people somewhere figured out what they really are, and how to use them – Useful Idiots.
For a moment I thought it was Hillary having had a very rough time in Greenland
lol…… there are some striking similarities.
Kankles?
“if you look over at Greenland, for example, you see that it’s exceptionally warm there,”
Not quite as warm as when it was named ‘Greenland’ though.
Ms. Slingo failed to mention that the same system causing relative warmth in Greenland was also in conjuction with a record cold December in Florida and other SE states. Some places in Florida broke their record for coldest December by 3-5 degrees, which is amazing. So the cold was hardly confined to UK and western Europe.
Also there were multiple warmcold US blizzards taking place in the South, Midwest and up the East Coast. Kids in Arkansas had to make up 15 days of missed school.
This Aarhus University press release (linked from Nigel Calder’s blog) says they have proof Cosmic rays cause cooling clouds (paraphrasing).

Someone tell Prof. Slingo that the sun is a climate forcing.
Not exactly proof – leave that kind of non-science to the alarmists – but a definite boost to Svensmark’s GCR theory.
Expect the “team” to do everything they can to debunk and discredit this. It has the potential to be their worst nightmare.
yeah, must have been all that warmth that caused that snow plow to break down in front of my neighbor’s house after one NYC area blizzard
Silly cow.

Slow start to the summer sea ice melt, reminds me of last year when it was a slow Spring.
