UK's 10 warmest years all occurred since 2002

Rather depressingly I have to concur with the article in the BBC news this morning.

Not quite as bad in central England but still pretty stark.

And so you should - there are still a majority of climate change deniers out there on Yahoo News trotting out the usual populist drivel.

...not to mention the nasty outbreak of denialism on uk.sci.weather in the last few days.    They joys of an open public forum.

Why 'rather depressingly' Bruce?

[xmetman]

Because I'm no lover of warmer weather.

Now if it had been global cooling I would be all for it!

A brave comment at your latitude!    More appropriate for me perhaps, in the pit of the Thames valley.   A humid 25-26C seems to be routine now here.   We even miss those downpours.

That's the annoying thing, those of us living inland in the SE get all the oppressive heat and humidity but almost never get the resulting thunderstorms.  It seems a little unfair!

Where do you live again? Scotland calls, Bruce. Or somewhere with altitude. Heatwaves are almost certain to become more frequent in summer. *>))

[xmetman]

As of last September I now live in the Highlands - but not at great altitude more's the pity.

Drivel indeed - they're on a par with flat earthers. 

I would like to engineer some strictly local warming in our neck of the woods - but just a little. :)
