It is getting colder mate. I thought it was global warming not global cooling.

Maybe it's not getting colder but it's staying consistently rubbish?

Global warming causes climate change. Rise in ocean temperatures leads to melting ice, melting ice leads to fresh water mixing with salt water and changing currents. The Gulf Stream, for example, is a current that directs warm water to northern Europe from the Gulf of Mexico. By doing so, the Gulf Stream makes temperatures in Great Britain and the rest of northwestern Europe warmer than they otherwise would be. As global temperatures rise, Arctic ice melts and massive amounts of fresh water pour into the North Atlantic and slow the Gulf Stream down. By slowing or stopping this ocean current, global warming actually would cool Europe down dramatically.

Come on get a grip we have long winters yes but look at other places like Russia and then try and complain, considering how far north the UK is we get off lightly because of the jet stream.

I remember an old guy I used to work with who told me the hottest summer he could recall was when it snowed for one day in June.

It's the weather and for a country that does not have much (again look at Russia and the US for what weather really is) I don't know why we make a big deal out of it.

There is also global dimming, which causes less light intensity and lower temperatures.

Between 1980-1990 Thames barrier got opened twice
Between 1990-2000 Themes barrier got opened 14 times
Between 2000-2012 the Thames barrier was opened 84 times

So to the guy above. Your wrong, it's not "just" the weather.

How about you look this up - Rising water levels

I believe the topic was regarding the current cold weather not water levels!

The Thames used to freeze solid in the past so it's no where colder than it used to be the world climate cycles, some argue that global warming has prevented even colder temps and that if it was not for man the world would have cooled naturally.

Who knows it maybe be man made or it just maybe the norm but compared to other countires we get away lightly when it comes to weather but we abd our press seem obessed with a bit of rain and snow.

I personally believe climate change is a myth not to mention a multi-billion pound a year business, but its the climate of fear we live I find most chilling.

{Ed033's Note - The idea with the carbon tax was to control everyone with a global tax. That idea of a global tax to control everyone is still on the table.

In our part of the world (south india) it is getting hotter and there is talk of an upcoming drought
