If summer 2009 had turned out to be the ‘barbecue summer’ predicted by the useless, politically-correct jobsworths at the Met Office, we’d have been drowning in their I-told-you-so-s as they claimed the hot summer was undeniable proof of Global Warming. Similarly, if we’d had the warm winter also predicted by the almost pointless nobodies at the Met Office, they’d have been all over our screens insisting that this was further irrefutable proof of their Global Warming claptrap.
But as the summer was a wash-out and the winter a 30-year record freeze, the Met Office shamelessly claims that there is little connection between weather and climate. This allows them to say the Earth is getting warmer even though the weather is unusually cold. Still, as we know from their fiddled figures and selective use of data – Garbage in, Garbage out.
