Goody ! Does this presage the return of “ice carnival” to the Thames ? !!! Or on our side of the Atlantic , “sleigh ride” commutes to Manhattan across the Hudson ? Imagine ice skating twixt Manhattan and NJ ! Think of the toll/fare savings ! >PS
Don’t be silly. We all know that the science is settled, that humans have started an irreversible global warming trend, and that the sun has nothing to do with warming the earth. Anyone who claims otherwise is an anti-science denier. But . . . if this is true, then the solution is more government regulation, higher taxes, population control, and reduced technology in the West.
What IS scientific is the almost complete lack of sunspots for the previous three years. If the sunspots continue to be minimal, there are several hundred years of observation from the past, with which to make predictions for the future. In times of solar minimum, there are years of colder than usual temperatures.
Didn’t the Met Office predict that this October would be the warmest in GB history?
