Yup, would rather it be the other way round tbh.

Weather cycle or not it is global warming

I agree with you btw, but global warming is still global warming.

I worded it slightly wrong. I'm not denying that Global Warming exists, however I am saying that what is happening has only been sped up a finite amount by "our" actions, and that this weather cycle was going to happen regardless

Senior Bishops said:
The Church of England took a different stance to the Met Office as to cause of the floods — senior bishops said that the severe weather were a consequence of the West’s decision to ignore the Bible.

The church leaders emphasised that while the seven people who died were innocent victims, it was man-made climate change and an “arrogant” world “reaping what we have sown” that had caused the disasters of the past week.

Lol, when will they ever learn :confused:

Stephen Wilson said:
Of course Church of England bishops are right. How could they be anything else? The change in the weather is their God's punishment on mankind. So is bird flu. The death of Princess Diana was God's punishment too. So was the Islamic bombing of New York and London. Let's face it, the Church of England's God is a pretty vindictive sort of character. What a pity he has little to do with the Jesus Christ of the Gospels.

This guy didn't go far enough

personaly i love the rain and cold cliamits. if global warming means more rain, then thats good imo. The only bad thing i hate abotu global warming is we get less snow each year, eventully england wont get any snow, except up north.

If its too cold, its not hard to get warm, where as if its too hot, it can be difficult to cool down.

Where are you based Gilly?

I love Winter, my favourite season by a mile, but I'm happy with any daytime temperatures under 25 deg C at this time of year. Under 20 is perfect.

i want sun and more of it!!

boooo to all those who like cold weather!

Robert · 2 Jul 2007 at 11:17

I don't mind. The type of weather which I abhor is the hot, humid days. I love hot weather when I'm away and I love ice cold weather when I'm home

The Running Man · 2 Jul 2007 at 11:17

I don't mind it raining (although the cost to certain areas is very high), but I dislike the heat with the rain. I can't sleep properly as it is too warm, yet it also rains. I would like cold weather with rain (but not too many electric storms as I like using my computer).

As an avid skiier, I just want more snow, a 12-month season would be just superb :cool:

That would be good also. I could cross-country ski to school.

(I like both alpine and cross-country skiing).

You're reminding me now its been a while since we had a really good thunderstorm here, had a few in the past weeks, but nothing major.

Love thunderstorms, such a sense of wonder.

I've never once turned my electrical equipment off during a storm and never once had a problem with it. No surge protector either

Lysander · 2 Jul 2007 at 11:25

Must be an excuse to get another umbrella.

Something like this would do very nicely indeed.

OK. I prefer to be on the safe side. It would be illogical to hear this single story and change my ways I believe. (It would be nice to use my computer in these storms, but I value it too much). I use a surge protector also, but I find that it is better safe than sorry.

I'd opt for a bit less rain if it were possible, but I'm certainly pleased about that forcast. The past few summers have been awful here.
