Record Cold in Britain

August 30, 2011

From the UK Telegraph:

30 Aug 2011

Much of Britain suffered the coldest summer for almost two decades, Met Office statistics show.

As Britons return to work today after a soggy Bank Holiday weekend, official weather data reveals that average temperatures were significantly down on recent years.

The UK’s average temperature from June 1 to August 15 was only 57F (13.9C) – the lowest for 13 years.

For central England the average was 59F (15C), making it the coolest summer since 1993.

Helen Waite, a Met Office forecaster, said: “The average temperature for central England this summer has been just 15C – this sort of temperature is normally typical of September.

“Generally speaking, you would expect to see temperatures of at least 17C for this time of year.”

Personal comments:  Funny how THESE stories are never picked up by the Associated Press.  Science calls this type of error a ‘selection bias,’ where only one outcome receives attention, and outcomes that refute the desired hypothesis are discarded as irrelevant.  This is but one reason that journalists should be educated– and one glaring proof that they tend not to be, at least anymore.  I hate to say it, but people are doing the right thing by abandoning their subscriptions, as you are more likely to be misinformed than informed by media from this time in history.

Pretty Friggin’ Cold

August 16, 2011

As I’ve often written, the mainstream media hypes stories about heatwaves as evidence for global warming, and buries stories about record cold weather.  Warming zealots have even tried to eliminate the impact of global cooling on their cause by claiming that the issue is ‘climate change’– i.e. that global warming INCLUDES global cooling!  They bolster their cause by relying on the one thing that is true about weather– that it changes!

Don’t be a sucker.  The news from down under:

Further snowfalls expected tonight

6:34 PM Tuesday Aug 16, 2011

Many areas of New Zealand – including the hills surrounding Wanganui – have been smothered in snow over the past few days.

The bitterly cold blast that has hit New Zealand this week should ease off over the coming days, but heavy snow is still expected overnight in many areas, including Wellington and Christchurch.

Snow returned to the nation’s capital this afternoon, with a late afternoon surge seeing the the temperature plunge to just above freezing with a wind chill of -5, according to weatherwatch.co.nz

The polar surge in the capital forced police to close roads, including the Rimutaka Hill Road, Wainuiomata Hill Road, Paekakariki Hill Road, and State Highway 58 between State Highway 2 to Moonshine Road and Blue Mountains Road in Upper Hutt.

Police said driving conditions were treacherous and people should only travel if it was essential.

Extreme caution was needed on all roads in and around the Hutt Valley.

Head weather analyst Philip Duncan said the snow will spread across the lower North Island tonight, although some main centres to the north west of the city may avoid the worst snowfalls.
