And now it's global COOLING! Record return of Arctic ice cap as it grows by 60% in a year

[MadMonk]

The MET weather office in Great Britain -- a major global weather authority -- is on record saying there has been no global increase in temperature since 1997.

Mother of Gawd. Never heard of the Mail before, I don't know how any of you did. Pretty clear the OP was oblivious as well.

[Kryten]

Don't worry about it Scottish, there was no real thread to derail since it's not a real story.

Or you could be a liberal arts major pretending to be in the loop

You got me. I lied about having a biology degree. I actually did a double minor in Medieval poetry and philosophy.

IF you have been climbing under the doona this winter only to experience the hot sweats, you're probably not alone. The Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) announced on Tuesday that Australians have experienced the hottest 12-months on record, with a host of historical highs toppled.

The average temperature was 22.9C from September 2012 to August this year - 1.11C above the 1961-1990 average.

And it hasn't just been in the red centre either.

The uncharacteristic warmth has been felt across the entire continent with no regions registering below-average temperatures.

January 7 has now taken top position as the hottest summer day on record.

The month of January 2013 has been set down in the history books as a particularly sweaty one.

Those on land haven't been the only ones experiencing the sizzling trend.

"The warmth has extended to the oceans around Australia with widespread record warmth," the BoM said in a statement.

So put those doonas and coats away, as the warmth is set to continue throughout spring.

"The bureau's seasonal outlook for spring indicates both maximum and minimum temperatures are likely to be above average over much of Australia," the statement said.

I don't think this is going to work between us anymore. Just yesterday you said you might have the E. coli virus

I await your book on the translation of the Canterbury Tales.

I'm not saying one year's trends is proof for climate change, but man...I would not want to be an Australian right now.

Does this mean Al Gore has to give back his nobel prize?

[Keslerific]

Global cooling is way cooler than global warming

[Heisenberg]

I have never believed the global warming scam, thanks for giving Al Gore tens and tens and tens of millions of dollars off it though.

Create a big problem... promote solutions to the problem you created.... own parts of all the companies receiving the solution(carbon credits)... roll around in money while not even turning off you lights on earth hour, probably because he was flying around in his private jet, oh well he buys credits... from a company he probably owns a portion of.

Genius.

I wouldn't be that harsh. The science on climate is still evolving. Indeed the political leanings of the left get in the way of climate advances, and stand in the way of climate science that may not agree with their pre-disposed belief system toward ridiculous environmentalism. There are businesses that stand in the way of climate advance as well. It's pretty screwed up that one has to be a perpetual sceptic due to politics and religious-like cults on the left muddling scientific advancement.

[Mr. Ambien]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Yeah it's totally those evil anti-science lefties.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
