As Britain counts the costs of the worst floods in 200 years, Charles Clover argues the signs of global warming are now impossible to ignore A still from the Robert Carlyle film, Flood
Big Ben, the London Eye and Westminster Abbey awash. The submerged streets of London indistinguishable from the Thames. Admittedly, the above image, arresting as it is, is the stuff of cinematic trickery. But could it happen? One day, if we are not careful, it just might.
Of course, nowhere in the country are flood defences built to a higher standard than in London, because of the value, strategic and otherwise, of what lies behind them, so Trafalgar Square is unlikely ever to be as vulnerable as Tewkesbury, even though most of the capital is on a flood plain.
But if the floods of this week have taught us anything, it is that few events can be more extraordinary than the weather - and there is plenty of reason to think long and hard about the extraordinary weather we have recently been experiencing.

I disagree! Al Gore is only in his first phase ( what you call amateur), wait until his second phase ( professional) where he will start sacrificing virgins to volcanos in Hawaii, in order to propitiate the global warming forces of nature.
That will be bad news , as there are few Virgins in the Left, so they will be after pubbies. Hide your virgins NOW!
“One day, if we are not careful, it just might.”
For that matter, even if we are careful, it just might anyhow. Or Big Ben might get scraped away by a giant glacier such as covered most of the planet in the last ice age. Hey, what is the House of Lords going to do when the sun goes nova? We should be preparing for that now, otherwise our grandchildren will say, “Grandfather, you knew the sun was going to go nova. Why didn’t you pass the necessary legislation to deal with the crisis before the window of opportunity closed? Why didn’t you create ringworlds in other solar systems?”
Napoleon and his love for his stinky consort Marie-Josephe-Rose de Beauharnais....a.k.a., Josephine.
And monkeys might fly out of my butt.
See, I have these same things happen to me. The problem is, you won't get the Jessica Alba of today, you'll get her post 70, toothless and due to cancer yer prostate will be out. It's very Faustian.
ROTFLMAO! Funny stuff!
What do they suggest we do to stop all this global warming ?
“and what made it this hot 200 years ago???”
Sport Utility Horses plus coal.
Sport Utility Horse... is that a Muel???
If it is hot in August - global warming. If it is cold in February - global warming. If it is too rainy - global warming. If it is too dry - global warming. if there are too many hurricanes - global warming. If there are no hurricanes - global warming.
I guess we will have to just give up, don’t drive anymore, wrap ourselves in blankets in the winter, and rely on Uncle Sam and the UN to let the immigrants straighten it out. As someone once said “ We have nothing to fear, but fear itself.”
Um, let’s just call it WEATHER, ok?
So are hurricaines.
The nabling nabobs of negativism (global warming wackos) would really pee their pants if that happened.
Vote for dims, nationalize the oil companies, gut the Military even further, nationalize health care, kill Capitalism, raise taxes as high as possible, turn over sovereignty over to the UN, surrender in Iraq and anoint hildebeast with the status of Queen for life. Oh, I almost forgot... every single American has to put michael moore up in his or her home for one night... that is all.
LLS
and what made it this hot 200 years ago???
Wasn't that during the Little Ice Age?
Yo, Clive. Or Jeeves or whatever your name is, if it wasn't for Global Warming, Great Britain wouldn't even exist.
90,000 years ago, The Land of Tea and Crumpets was under a thousand feet of glaciers.
Massive tax increases, of course.
L
could be... that would make their case ever harder to prove.
