britainswomble Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Did anyone take the trouble to have a good read of the website www.predictweather.com? If you did, what do you think about their comments and version of what is happening to our weather? As a non believer in the global warning phenomena, I found their explanation of things to be very logical. I also had hoped that some of you would have read it and perhaps passed comment so we could get an interesting discusion going, to find out what our members really think. Us Brits are often too ready to accept what the so called experts tell us, regardless of their motives. At the end of the day, every time we hear about global warming from the media, it all comes down to one thing, and that being, we are eventually going to foot the bill. All we hear about is governments talking about fining large energy producers for the level of their carbon emissions. All they will do is pass on the cost to us!!!! I eagerly await your comments!! (First Numpty of the year 2007 ) Still, at least my spelling is pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
