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.
Do pay attention, we’re now going to cool because the Gulf Stream’s going to be disrupted!
No! It will be due to the collapse of the Antarctic ice sheet!
Gee they predict a 50:50 chance the temperature will rise. They have a $100 M computer for this and all they really needed apparently was to flip a coin. They also admitted this year in Parliament that their temperature trend has no statistical significance. In other words, it is inside the bounds of natural variation. There is no human contribution in other words. They’re hoping no one noticed – and naturally the MSM looked the other way.
With all that new foliage to be transplanted, Brits could use a few 10s of millions of our “South of the Border” gardeners. Love to see a large chunk of them move to England. Go diversity.
Their gas powered two cycle smokey leaf blowers are driving me nuts.
What ever happened to the simple rake?
They can use a rake at home; it’s the leaf-blower that brings them to the US.
A 50-50 chance equates to ignorance which suggests that Al-Jazeera Gore was at the meeting.
Wow, with that nice uninterrupted view across to the Mediterranean I’m glad I’ve got the conservatory. “Nottinghamshire by the sea” has quite an expensive ring about it. It’s better than I thought.
Dang, if you’re by the sea, I’m under it in Lincolnshire, well as soon as it’s risen by 60 or so feet, where I am!
Adam, you can bring your beach hut up to my back garden – you’ll be warm and cosy there, but if you swim mind the underwater wind turbines there I don’t want my air conditioning to fail!
Where will the extra energy come from for an extra 2C rise in temperatures?
But if you pull my finger……
The have it wrong, the start of Global cooling..

they really are this stupid…
The UK has always had a climate exactly like the south of France…

Since when have they ever under lied?
if you throw darts it’s a 1 in 62 chance to hit something lol oops 63 there is a wall behind it
How many summer days hit 36 C in the UK ????
Not too many apparently if you look at the stats.
Yes, but you’re not including the rest of the heat sitting at the bottom of my garden pond.
Boiled fish anyone?
CET temps falling like Billy-O since 2000
