I read for the last three years global temperatures have decreased year on 
year. And tonight, damn near mid-summers day, we've had to put the heating 
on! And please, let nobody patronise me with the Gulf Stream shift!
A friend of mine came back yesterday from a months cruise on the Med. He 
said the weather was cold and crap. This global warming fad is just that, 
a fad. An excuse for politicians to explain their failure to fund 
resources into alternative energy sources to oil. They had enough warning, 
the first oil crisis was in 1974! It was obvious then but it's only just 
dawned on them that the oil supply is a diminishing resource. There ain't 
much left! "Global warming" is just an excuse, when oil was $10 a barrel, 
only 10 years ago, we couldn't even spell "global warming".Everything 
seems to be cooling down, the economy, the temperature, and now the EU. 
Well done the Irish, they always were awkward buggers and true to form 
they've been awkward at just the right moment!

Global warming is a tax raising scam and "climate change" is the new term.

Well, climate change has been with us since the world began. It is even 
happening on Mars and all the 4x4s there solar power!

I came back last week from a week in Scandinavia - the weather there was
fantastic - blue skies, no clouds, 35 degrees C in Oslo at 6pm. I suspect
the polar slipstream thingy that happened last year is happening again this
year. Last year the bad weather normally dished out to the northern,
northern hemisphere, slipped down to our latitude, so they had the good
summer weather we normally experience (think I heard this summarised in a
weather documentary on the BBC).

Perhaps your friend should go on a Baltic cruise next year!

He was bloody mad going on any cruise. I told him what it would be like. 
Eating with people you'd never met before and with whom he would have 
nothing in common.Having his photo taken with the Captain, the Captain 
looking like the smugist git on the ship because he was one of the few 
cruise ship captains who hadn't yet pranged the boat when mooring. Being 
subjected to crap "caberet" every night and worst of all, getting dragged 
in to silly "deck" games. He confirmed I was right. His comment was: "I'm 
never going on one of those f*cking cruises ever again"!
