This morning,we left our modest home on the coast for a walk over the fields to some livery stables for Chrimbo pressies. The garden has roses still in bloom and daffodils up and looking ready to flower. We are in the north of England ffs.
At the stables ,we saw Tarquin and Pippa riding in shirt sleeves and jodpurs and I was also in shirtsleeves. We had coffee and cake OUTSIDE watching the ducks and geese foraging away.
I cannot remember the last meaningful frost we 've had. It aint good really.Something is amiss with the climate and those denying it are as bad a those underestimating covid.
I remember the winter of 63 when my dad's building business was shut down for 3 months as the mortar would freeze.Never forgot that.Swansea was always milder than many towns and where we live is protected by mountains to the east and west and has the sea to the north but these last few years have been stupid. This is certainly global warming and we really are killing the planet and it'll be our sad legacy

I'm watching "The Polar Bear family and me" with Gordon Buchanan. At one point they're on a boat in a vast expanse of water, he points and says, normally this water would be covered with ice at this time of year and the camera pans to the horizon. There's a few small ice chunks floating about.

These scientists, filmmakers etc can be very selective with their editing.Polar bears around the arctic are thriving, their numbers are increasing and haven't been so great since the 50s.

Just be thankful that we have this nice weather courtesy of the wobbly jet stream. We could be getting the 30 inches of snow that the north east of the US is getting, or the -30 that Kazakhstan and Central Asia, or the 2 feet of snow in Pakistan, or the record breaking snow in Austria and northern Italy were getting last week. It is known as weather.
We have had 2 reasonable frosts down here but something is clearly amiss with our weather. We have geraniums still in flower, my parents have California Lilacs in full bloom. It’s crackers.

The jet stream and the North Atlantic drift govern our climate, it’s called a ‘warm temperate’ climate.
The climate is changing, however, the earth goes through cycles, we are going through a natural cycle.
As for winter, we have only just entered winter, end of Jan beginning of Feb are usually our colder months
We've had some quite harsh winters over the last 10 - 15 years. Although quite possibly less than the long term average. We've also had some exceptionally mild ones.
This year, and recent years, alone can't be attributed to climate change alone. This may just be weather. But it is very mild, I may have to mow the lawn in the next couple of weeks.
Anyway, I'm not prepared for this thread to degenerate in to the usual nonsense. I'm out, enjoy.
Never mind Tarquin and Pippa riding in shirt sleeves and jodhpurs, I used to ride my horse over Penlan common in the middle of February, bare chested and no saddle.
You might think I've forgotten, but one day, when you least expect it, my time will come.

Now I didn't say Polar bears are decreasing, merely that the ice is. This year Arctic ice is at it's lowest since 2012 that year being the worst on record.

Polar bears are doing quite well, yes.
I suggest that you double check your Arctic Sea Ice data. Currently it is above 7 previous years and at it's worst comparitive point on day 300 it was above 2 years.
Sorry I am wrong that is World Ice data, not the Arctic.

Yes, it is great for it to be a bit warmer, who wants to live in a colder world? Humans were built for 35C to 40C as in the African plains. Elsewhere we need shelter & clothes to survive.

An idea isn't responsible for those who believe in it.
The climate has definitely changed in the last 5-10 years. It tends to feel colder around Feb-April now...almost like winter has shifted later. November for example, feels more like early Autumn now.

Funnily enough ,my old fella used to regularly drive across there and always complained about wild horses and gypsies. He hit one once in his Austin A95 (long time ago)No offence meant and not inferering you or anyone on here being involved in the purveyance of pegs

Did he hit a horse or a gypsy, or a gypsy on a horse?
