Typical English Garden after global warming
‘The Met Office are saying that despite the recent concerns about the science, they are very sure about the underlying science. ‘They tell us there is a 50-50 chance we will get a 2C rise. If we pull our finger out we could prevent us moving beyond 2C but we have to act pretty soon‘.
A 2C rise could mean summers in the UK reaching 38C – a climate similar to southern France.
That kind of temperature rise would see the traditional summer deep borders full of herbaceous perennials such as lupins and delphiniums replaced with Mediterranean plans.
Shock! Horror! 2C rise in temperatures in UK!
Mediterranean weather predicted!
They could wind up like … oh, I dunno … Greece?
……
Uh-oh! Too late…
“Shock as British deficit equals that of Greece
Fears of debt crisis as January tax receipts fall by 9 per cent overall, while public expenditure rises 15 per cent.
Britain’s public finances are in a worse position than those of Greece, according to the latest figures on government borrowing.”

This will deal a severe blow to the UK’s tourism income, when skiers cease flocking to the isles to bomb deep powder in the back country.
Children just won’t know what herbaceous perennials such as lupins and delphiniums are. Heck they probably don’t know now.
They’re so certain about the science, they can’t even get a 3 month forecast right.. Total morons.

Thank God and SUVs for Global Warming otherwise we would be under a mile of ice!
David Viner says that Europeans are going to flock to the UK for our continental summers!

In 2006 Viner wrote this report:-
Climate change could “dramatically” change the face of British tourism in the next 20 years, with European tourists flocking to the UK to escape unbearably hot continental summers.
Research shows that European tourists may choose to holiday in Britain as resorts nearer to home become too hot.
Weather changes may provide revival opportunities for northern seaside towns such as Blackpool and put new strains on roads and development in southern coastal resorts, a study in the Journal of Sustainable Tourism said.

The Met office is now using newly peer review approved Spreadsheet software –
New MannSoft® SpreadsheitAround© to do the MannMath®. It makes divide by zero easy, and the all new Hansenizer™ add-in means you can draw the plot before generating the data (just like the professionals).
“ MannSoft with Gia-safe Security because you always know what you’re going to get.”

The BEST a Mann can get! 😉

To shave the numbers?

LOL!
The average July temperature in the South of England (Southampton) is nearly 3°C warmer than Southern Scotland (Edinburgh) already. It’s very easy for someone in the UK to experience a 2°C temperature rise – they just need to move from Edinburgh to Southampton. In fact, they’ve been doing it voluntarily for years.
Scotland’s greatest export – its people.
