Do any of you reckon that something strange has happened to the weather this summer.

Here in the UK it has been dull and cloudy and raining since the end of May. In fact I think we had better weather in February than we've had most of this summer.

In the US I've heard that its really abnormally hot and people are dying because of the heat. Things seem to be getting just a little wierd weather-wise.

Is it global warming??

What do you think.

Summer just started at a wonky time and they say that this means that the sunny weather will go on into the middle os september. It's not global warming, it's just evolution.

Evolution? Hm... you caught me there... what do you mean by that? :)

It is accepted by the scientific community that this year's weather is a mix of global warming and the El Nino.

These people mean that because of global warming the weather should be getting hotter, that is what is happening in U.S.A because the whole in the o-zone layer is nearer to the U.S.A than us, also it also a hotter place in general anyway. But in England the summer is starting later than usual that is why we are having bad weather, they say that the summer will start later so therefore it will end later. It is the world evoluting before our eye's, the seasons are changing to occur at a different time, they haveno explanation for the summer coming later so that is my theory.

global warming isn't about just the summer coming (which it rarely does in good ol' england) it's about the whole climate, all year round, everywhere, rising gradually by maybe half a degree a year or something. big deal, you may scoff, but it shouldn't be rising at all. one day all those fractions of a degree will add up to one huge temperature change, which will trigger all the stuff people are scared off - ice caps melting and wiping out whole continents, greenery dying on a wordly scale, and the few people left dying of respiratory failure from the crap air quality, or being fried alive. Sure, we people alive now are gonna miss that eventuality but i don't want it happening to anyone, however far descended from me they are. now we are so reliant on cars and air-poisoning industry, what can we do? the politicians don't care cos they want to drive their big cars. and no mega corporate conglomerate chain with factories all over the globe are suddenly going to change from diesel to wind power if they don't have to. depressing situation - and it's inescapable. search out the Greenpeace site if you want to hear how you can help, i think i just might do that myself

Chas, you have'nt researched very much before going public have you. Now I am fun-loving hippy like you no doubt, and I care for our Earth above everything,especially in the Christian sense, which is why I'm so proud of the way our country is handling the last generations mistakes. You must use logic as well as instinct and what other information people spoon-feed you. The POLITICIANS have put well over half their money into saving the Earth. This money has gone into, the saving and planting of trees, abolishing CFC's, and the research, experimenting and construction of things such solar and aqua powered cars and CFC free refridgeraters could not have taken place without a government grant or a loan authorised by the bank. Now, people at the top may not care about the o-zone or the Earth but they do have to bother about because otherwise their customers will refuse to come to them after a while. You may find that it isn't actually cars that are the main problem, not only are they changing the cars to make them safe, but I have also been informed that the whole is no longer going to expand if we stay at the level we are at now, but also there has research into building a man-made o-zone layer which will be able to control the CFC's, carbon-dioxide and carbon-monoxide levels in it. I think that main reasons that people are so 'worried' about all this is because they want to make it look like they care by worrying about something that most probably will not happen in the far and didstant future instead of worrying about things that definately are happening right now in the present such as undeveloped countries and world hunger, war, famine, disease, imigration, slavery, ethnic cleansing, bad politics, vandalism, natural disasters, murder, justice, even bullying, and thats not even half the list. While people are sitting on their arses complaining, these things are wiping out humanity quicker than global warming, you've just been influenced by the people that cannot be bothered to solve the problem that matter now, so they told you that the main problem was global warming that is'nt really a very big problem at all so that would not have to bother with anything and just watch it all destroy the Earth.
