Coldest March for half a century
Apparently March has been the coldest for 50 years in the UK and looking out of my window I saw snow on the ground in London today. So we now have not just a cold winter but a cold spring as well. In every other science there is delight if one of the main theories is overturned. Only climatologists scorn dissenters. Yet in the 1990s they told us the temperature would increase by about 5 degrees C this century. It's obvious that some regions (the Antarctic, for example) have experienced a great deal more climate change than others. It's equally obvious that there has been most impact in spring and autumn. A climate model could be devised blaming this on carbon but surely ozone layer reduction (particularly increases in UV hitting the ground) is a much more likely culprit?.
