Clive Best: Any AGW signal in UK temperature data ? – Nope ! « Tallbloke's Talkshop

Likewise detailed UK station temperature measurements since 1940 are available through Hadcrut4 dataset[2]. Do these show recent enhanced temperature rises due ever increasing CO2 levels?

New forecast for global warming : Voice of Russia

In its annual forecast for next year, the UK’s Met Office predicts that global temperatures are forecast to be 0.57C above the long-term average next year, making 2013 one of the warmest years on record. This means that the next few decades may see a spate of catastrophic changes take place on Earth, something that some experts say will be caused by a cold spell-turned-new glacial age rather than global warming. They argue that the cold snap may begin already in 2014.
