The problem is British and American people being so keen on weather. No other people on planet have weather TV channels, etc., etc., etc...

Fray Luis de León said:

As we were saying yesterday...
Fray Luis de León wrote mystical poems which prompted Cervantes to proclaim León "a genius who astounds the world and who, in ecstasy, might rob us of our senses." León was also an active man who taught at the University of Salamanca, translated classical and biblical literature, and wrote on religious themes. Twice denounced before the Inquisition, he was imprisoned for "heresy," though he returned to the University to later hold the chairs of Moral Philosophy and Biblical Studies.

Tradition has it that he began his lecture the first day after returning from four years' imprisonment with the words "as we were saying yesterday..."

UK has more tornadoes per square mile than any other country in the world (OK they are not up to the "twister F5" status....)

And the temperature can go from -10 to +35 degrees.

That's true, weather can change a lot in UK during the day while it's probably less changeable in Spain but northwest of Spain is a bit like UK, east is normaly sunny with some heavy rain short periods of time every 7 years, south is normaly hot and west is Portugal. Posted Image

Interesting article...

New Paper: The Phase Relation Between Atmospheric CO2 And Global Temperature




An important new paper published today in Global and Planetary Change finds that changes in CO2 follow rather than lead global air surface temperature and that “CO2 released from use of fossil fuels have little influence on the observed changes in the amount of atmospheric CO2.
The paper finds the “overall global temperature change sequence of events appears to be from 1) the ocean surface to 2) the land surface to 3) the lower troposphere,” in other words, the opposite of claims by global warming alarmists that CO2 in the atmosphere drives land and ocean temperatures. Instead, just as in the ice cores, CO2 levels are found to be a lagging effect of ocean warming, not significantly related to man-made emissions, and not the driver of warming. Prior research has shown infrared radiation from greenhouse gases is incapable of warming the oceans, only shortwave radiation from the Sun is capable of penetrating and heating the oceans and thereby driving global surface temperatures.

Yep. The climate downpour is losing strength... to no surprise whatsoever.

Gotta wonder if we will get a break this time around or will move on directly to the next crisis.

After all, the next massive end-of-the-world catastrophe is just around the corner waiting to be screamed... as always.

I wonder if it will also be announced via Nobel prize. That was amusing.
