3rd Coldest December since records began in 1659

Post by krussel »

So far, with a mean (average of maxima and minima) CET of -0.4C, December 2010 is the 3rd coldest December since records began in 1659.

And a few people moan about a few delayed parcels. :roll:

CET = Central England Temperature

Not reflective of the entire UK considering -9/-10 has been very common here since mid_november.

If that was necessarily true, then why didn't we enter another ice age during the coldest (and second coldest) Decembers since 1649.
That is after all only 450 years ago and not anything to do with a million year cycle.

The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Its just been way too cold for the equipment supplied to do the job. The stormproof coat is usless even when worn over a fleeze in these conditions. If they expect us to work on these new deliveries, which can take up to 6 hrs + at christmas, in temps of -10 deg c we are going to need some PROPER outdoor clothing.

But he didn't know his tweets were boring until someone told him.
He obviously doesn't know the number of a good plastic surgeon either or he'd have his hooter looked at.
So why should I believe him/you about the current ice age?
