I thought that long hot sunny summers were a very British thing and were normal before we joined the EU? 

The bastards not only took our money and most of our manufacturing, but it seems they took our nice British weather as well! 

Well I want it back!    So I'll email Boris to make sure it's in his 'deal'! 

mention my name 
as for pre EU weather, I can't remember, I was less than 3 years old 
though I definitely remember thinking joining was a bad idea 

I'm too young as well Dave, but for as long as I can remember older people have gone round saying "We don't get summers like we used too!" 

So it has to be the EU's fault!     

We don't get winters like we used to, either, thank god.

When was the last frost fair/fayre on the Thames?

I don't remember, bet you do.

I bet old Lizzie will know without looking it up.

Yes, a well known fact that the Thames often froze over from the 17th century, through to the 19th.  In fact it was in 1814 that the river froze over enough for a Thames Fair,for the last time, during a "mini ice age", but it the last time in that century that it just froze was in 1895.  However, an often forgotten fact is that the Thames actually froze over during the bitter winter of 1962-3, but to my knowledge no fair was held as the freezing did not last long enough, unlike in previous centuries.

If I remember correctly the Thames Fair featured in an episode of, I think Dr Who, if not that programme, in another sci-fi.

Yes, a well known fact that the Thames often froze over from the 17th century, through to the 19th.  In fact it was in 1814 that the river froze over enough for a Thames Fair,for the last time, at the end of a "mini ice age", but it the last time in that century that it just froze was in 1895.  However, an often forgotten fact is that the Thames actually froze over during the bitter winter of 1962-3, but to my knowledge no fair was held as the freezing did not last long enough, unlike in previous centuries.

The world is still about 2^oC cooler than the global average for the last 1 billion years, found through the analysis of sedimentary rock cores, & more recent values also from ice cores & tree ring samples, where we are still recovering from the last ice age in this current interglacial period where the polar ice caps formed a mere 33 million years a go.

140 million years a go during the most fertile era on this planet in terms of the explosion in the number and varieties of plant & animal life, CO2 was 3000 ppm. CO2 has gradually dropped since then from the locking of carbon in the formation of fossil fuels. Cellulite (wood) plants evolved about 140 million years a go & when the trees died there were no wood eating bugs, funguses or bacteria around to break them down (as there are now) which as they were buried under layers of rock through heat and pressure created coal seems. Sea custrations evolved to have a carbon based hard shell armour and depending upon conditions these locked up carbon as they died & decomposed to form oil & gas or just their hard shells survived to form calcium-carbonate or chalk.

With CO2 continually dropping over that last 140 million years we were about 2 million years from an ice age CO2 low point of it dropping below 120ppm (in the last ice age it dropped to 150ppm) so 85% species of C3 plants die out & planet B Earth so it then looks like planet A Mars. The other 15% are C4 plants that can survive with much lower CO2 levels but their photosynthesis requires much higher energy levels so they are limited to equatorial plants. The good news was humans by burning CO2 & raising CO2 are actually saving the planet until the politicians & anti-Westerners realised that Western civilization is build on a plentiful supply of cheap energy & those who control the energy supplies (politicians & governments, rather than the people through their businesses) control the people with their imaginary bogeyman clear, tasteless, inert, CO2 which is vital for plant life & our entire planet B Earth eco-system.

Stalin told us if you repeat a lie often enough people will believe it & virtually everybody in the Western world believe, including most on here, that rising CO2 levels are a problem & to be 'good' citizens we all need to work to reduce them. Religions, Communist & NAZIS et al all knew that if you want to brainwash a population, you start with the easily influenced & converted, the children, hence the children's globally coordinated school strikes today.

None of this is going to end well for the planet or Western societies.

I remember the days when I was young and idealistic and out to save the world...

...Then I discovered what fun it was to burn gratuitous quantities of petrol.

The young are supposed to be rebellious and anti establishment, and here they are supporting the EU which is the biggest establishment of them all and the climate scam! 

Pussies! The lot of them!

I have been saying just that for many years, Rods2 - and on here too! Vested interests and all governments' not-so-hidden agendas create these lies and then try to make us feel guilty enough to accept punitive taxation to assuege that guilt.

Yes indeed, some are just not looking around, using their eyes and ears, and watching what is actually happening around this planet we rely on. Instead they spend time just reading non-mainstream, "reports" that completely ignore what the real environmental scientist and other specialists in that areana, from around the World, are stating backed up by their factual reports.

As for children being used to promote the cause, as they can be "easily influenced and converted" as "Religion, Communists, and Nazis" did to "brainwashed a population", that is just not true. In fact it is plain rubbish, as adults have driven each of those causes, not babes in arms. That statement frankly is just trying to belittle us that have the intelligence, and have indendant thought, to understand what is happening and really care about it, trying to do what we can to do what we know is right! 

But, hey ho.........
