So what's causing this current cold spell?

The first of the two was my own thoughts the second was a quote my old friend used. Obviously I wasn't a friend of Churchill.

Can you give me the post #'s of the two posts of yours you're referring to?

BTW - there's a difference between being sceptical about another persons ideas/opinions and openly suggesting someone's not very bright :P

It seems to me that if someone tries to share a different perspective on a subject they are to be ridiculed.
That sounds like real intelligence at work ;D

I agree with DC this is just pointless bickering

Only one way to sort this out....

OK, so post number 28 is not your own comment on this subject, its a quote from a previous thread made on a different subject by someone else. If you had made that clear at the time, it would have put your post #32 into context.

I agree though that this has got pointless. I started the thread as an example of how the worlds weather interacts with itself and how you can have colder weather in one part of the world as a result of climate change, wheres the worlds global average temperatures are increasing - along with the reduction in the ice caps. People tend to always quote global warming as it can't be happening because there happens to be a temperature drop in one part of the world.

Sorry Jon but I don't want to fight you or anyone else..

From now on I'm not going to get involved in global warming threads.

...reminds me of someone else who used to carpet-bomb the forum pages with post after post of unsubstantiated bollocks, argue the toss with anyone who refuted his point, and then start to fling insults when he realised he'd backed himself into a corner :

Global warming ;D ;D ;D ;D

Seriously, according to the Met Office (whom I believe to be a completely trustworthy lot), the current cold spell is being caused by the warming of the southern hemisphere's strataspheric conditions. This has also resulted in the hottest day ever in Australia today - 46 degrees centigrade.

I think its a good example of how the worlds varying temperatures interact with each other to give a colder location in one part of the world caused by a warmer one elsewhere in the world. Interesting, no?

Getting back on track with this interesting post. The "experts" have been forecasting global warming for years. However, if it continues then we shall be in for a temperate climate, wet, wet, wet.
Interestingly though we were hit by a Gamma ray burst in the 8th century.

Are you suggesting that someone in this thread backed themselves into a corner??
