The Climate (not weather) Thread

Pooley Bridge is no more

[Prufrock]

are you folk all in the north west all without power? if so - I guess you might not see this! errr... ahhh - yeah - phones - your phones and gadgets might still work - so - question remains!

Mostly Cumbria, though it's got as far south as Lancaster. The pages I still follow having gone to Uni there are all talking about it. They're cancelling exams and sending people home.

I thought I'd read that Lancaster Uni had cancelled all it's lectures between now and Christmas? Slack bastards.

Given we're already into December, that can only have been a week or so's worth anyway!

There has been some good news with the weather. The highest waterfall in England appeared for a brief moment in the Yorkshire Dales.

Yowzers. I've been up Malham Cove and there was no discernible sight of any waterfall. I did shit myself however when the path I was following led me to the cliff edge!

Now then. Carlisle. I visited Carlisle when it last flooded in 2005. How the feck has the same thing happened in exactly the same spot 10 years on?

Because despite a lot of money having been spent on flood defences it wasn't enough for this national record rainfall, ie an awful lot more than the last time it flooded.

Couldn't happen again though. This one will definitely be once-in-a-lifetime. Unless...

Been a bit warm today. Not surprising as the 'scientific community' are about to announce a record breaking record ( not just any record ).
But, more pertinently, I predict (with major egg on face potential here) that by March 2016 you'll be asking yourself WTF? after being battered relentlessly by winds, rain and snow. If it don't happen I will donate £5 to a charity of Hoboh's choice...

Bolton Hospice please.
(Although I reckon you'd lose if we had ten feet of snow and lord knows how many millimetres of rain along with oak tree demolishing winds, they'd put that down to the effects of climate change, they are playing all sides of the argument)

Well I reckon Bolton Hospice can go fxck itself for my £5ver, and we've still got three full months to go. You're just a bit of a moron really aren't ya?

And more interestingly, I note, in North Carolina, which is where our Yank factory is. You've no idea as to how difficult my days can be some times .

Just walked to and from a distant pub (3 miles away), in a T-shirt. Not because I'm a Geordie or fat Frank, but because it's 14 degrees Centigrade. It's December 16th. It's Not Right.
