That would only be possible if their previous view that gw would make the jet stream move further north is incorrect, given that the present weather is supposed to be a consequence of said jet stream being too far south.

Coincidentally, I posted on the matter of the jet stream position yesterday.

If their previous view was incorrect, then their present (conflicting) view may also be incorrect.
On the other hand, they may just want to keep the cake which they are eating.

Gianna you're getting all political and I like it. Snouts in the trough,eh?


I vaguely recall some news item recently which mentioned a survey - regrettably I cannot provide a reference because I have forgotten where to look for it.
It seems that many respondents (in the UK) do not believe that the global temperature is rising at all, and most do not believe that if it is rising, that it is their fault (i.e. caused by human activity).

Assuming that they were not all big brother contestants and had more than one brain cell between them, why would they not believe any of it? The simple answer is because of the pathetically poor publicity.

As you note elsewhere in this thread, it seems that everything is attributed to gw and few people would believe that, even if it were true (which it is not).

Upon a time, almost everything was blamed on the weather, but now they need something to blame for the weather (gw), and someone to blame for gw (people). It is only a matter of time before they name names and sue for damages.
