And here we go with the whole “greenhouse gases which trap reflected sunlight and cause the Earth to warm will make it frickin’ cold and snowy” idiocy again

Climate change means we will be skiing in Yorkshire rather than sunbathing under palm trees, experts warn (all two of them)

We are more likely to be skiing in Yorkshire than basking under palm trees, a leading climate change expert has warned as global warming will actually lead to Britain getting colder.

How so?

Dr Simon Boxall, of the National Oceanography Survey, said that while the planet as a whole will get much warmer, this country will see temperatures plunge as the ocean currents and weather patterns around the world change.

At the moment north west Europe, particularly Britain, is warmer than it should be because of the effect of the North Atlantic Drift bringing warm water from the Tropics.

This then warms sea breezes which keep temperatures mild on land.

But the process that causes this movement could be “switched off” by global warming if the Arctic heats up too much.

It will mean colder, harsher winters similar to last month will become the norm and summers will become cooler and wetter.

Oh, hey, there’s that mega-scientific word “could” again. What they are talking about is shutting down the ocean circulatory systems, bringing on the movie “The Day After Tomorrow.” Which has happened, and leads to an actual glacial period, rather than a little ice age. But, if that happens, it won’t be just Britain in the cold: it would be the whole world.

Of course, this has never happened in the past 4.5 billion years, much less, say, from about 110,000 to 10,000 years ago, when no cars were around. No, it has to be mankind causing “climate change.” And what this whole “science” is about is attempting to explain away why the past few winters, including this one, have been so darned cold and snowy, while still keeping the drumbeat that global warming is caused mostly or solely by Mankind, so, “gives us money and power and control over your life!”
