AGW - And still the deniers deny!!!

We went skiing last week. It's beautiful in the French Alps, really really stunning, yet something quite unusual about skiing on "natural" snow (versus fake stuff created to pad out the pistes) when the air temperature was somewhere near 20c. In isolation this is nothing to be alarmed about, individual and localised weather phenomena does not indicate climate change. But you have to ask if this is localised or is this a pattern of climatic shifts that we will begin to see more and more in the future?

"Today may mark the seventh straight day of 80 degree temperatures at O'Hare, something that's never happened before in March. Or in April, for that matter. "It is extraordinarily rare for climate locations with 100+ year-long periods of records to break records day after day after day," the local office of the National Weather Service said in a statement on Sunday morning, following a Saint Patrick's Day that shattered 141 years of records." - Bill McKibben published in the Guardian on Tuesday 20th March 2012.

Hey, I love the good temperatures in the months that historically are cold, but haven't any of you stopped to think... wait a minute, if that's the temperature NOW, WTF will the temperature be at the height of summer?


Food for thought!
