The Press Association: Britain braced as cold snap goes on

The coldest winter season for more than 30 years will be capped off with more miserable weather, a forecaster said.

England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland have already seen the lowest temperatures for more than three decades according to MeteoGroup, the weather division of the Press Association.

The provisional average winter temperature of 2.4C (36.3F) in England was the lowest since 1978/9, and there is one week left of the season to go.

MeteoGroup said on Monday that using the Central England Temperature series, which covers a large area from Lancashire in the north-west to Oxfordshire in the south Midlands, this winter is the third coldest in the last 50 years and 10th coldest in the last 120 years. Other figures, not yet published, show that Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland also had their coldest winter season in the past 30 years.

Trying to let the global warming errors fade into the mists--hiding lies, now, instead of declines?

...refusing to correct errors and insisting that those who brought it to your attention are 'practitioners of voodoo science' as Rajendra Pachauri did regarding another error--the Himalayan glacier goof--turns mistakes into deliberate deception.

Independent Bloggers vs Corporate Environmentalists

From the perspective of environmental organization staffers, research agency employees, and tenured university professors it must appear as though skeptics have access to deep pockets. In the universe those people inhabit, even the simplest tasks can end up as budget line items. There are layers of bureaucracy, paperwork, office politics, and regulations to consider.

For the small and growing army of skeptical climate bloggers, however, none of that applies. The equivalent of a battered fishing boat will do nicely, thank you.

Those vessels are now everywhere. They're being sailed by real people and fueled by grassroots concern, outrage, and passion. And they're not going away.

The Rapidly Melting Case For Carbon Legislation — MasterResource

The “Inevitable” Was Not and Is Not

In summary, given the ragged state of the economy, persistently high unemployment – indeed, the highest number of unemployed people in modern U.S. history – along with huge numbers of foreclosures, the suddenly much-weaker scientific case for cutting carbon dioxide emissions, and the changing balance of power in Washington, don’t count on any significant carbon emissions legislation out of Congress anytime soon. Democrats and Republicans alike are sensing political peril in any effort that will impose higher energy prices on taxpayers during tough economic times.
