Winter of 2008-2009 Sets Millenium Record!

Despite the prediction from the UK Met Office that this winter would be "milder than average", this winter is instead proving to be the coldest of the millenium.

Winter will return with a vengeance today, with a band of heavy rain and snow due to sweep across Britain.

More than a week's rainfall is forecast to deluge parts of England and Wales in just a few hours this afternoon, bringing the risk of flash-floods.

The heavy rain will be followed by hail and sleet over the next few days as temperatures plummet back to a few degrees above freezing.

The UK's climate center is making of habit of predicting the polar opposite weather from what actually occurs. Only NASA GISS is more fanatically attached to the idea of catastrophic anthropogenic global warming (CAGW) than the UK's Met Office. Such foolish predictability is causing official governmental climate offices to lose credibility with the public.

But not with the media. The media is every bit as in love with the phantom climate catastrophe as are the climate modelers whose government paycheck may very well depend upon the ability to maintain a "climate of fear" -- at least among government officials and budgeting offices.

Climate disaster from anthropogenic CO2 is a steamroller losing its steam. Climates are cooling rather than warming, despite ever rising levels of atmospheric CO2. As the oceans themselves show more cooling, the atmospheric rise in CO2 itself may begin to reverse itself. That would be most difficult for James Hansen and Al Gore to explain.
