The one question I ask myself more than any other is \u2018Is Climate Change really Happening\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are so many contradictory arguments on social media concerning climate change that it is difficult to filter the facts from the fiction. This confusion appears at all levels of society from the class room to the boardroom to the local pub\u2019s \u2018debating society\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Who hasn\u2019t been in their local in the late evening, after a few pints of \u2018liquid refreshment\u2019 have disappeared down the throats of the thirsty customers, heard discussions about who is the best footballer, team, manager or how the current government is no good, but then the other lot are no better!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But the most popular topic of discussion has been proven to be, no not Brexit, but the weather. It can be to cold, to wet, to hot or to humid but it is always \u2018changeable\u2019 and it\u2019s always better in another part of the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The funny thing is, that it doesn\u2019t matter what the weather was actually like and no matter how long it was discussed, the conversation was always pleasant and calm and seldom became heated or discussed in anger. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
That was until the arrival of \u2018Climate Change\u2019 formerly known as global warming. Now it is almost impossible to discuss the weather without voices being raised and fingers pointed like some Jedi Lightsaber. Whether this is due to the stronger ale that is drunk these days or to the modern phenomenon of complete polarisation of peoples\u2019 opinions (due in a large part to the ready availability of social media) or a mixture of both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although I am more on the side of \u2018Yes Climate Change is happening\u2019 rather than on the side of \u2018It\u2019s a complete myth, as temperatures have always fluctuated\u2019 I shall try in this series to establish what is actually happening with the weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Please do not get angry and bombard me with e-mails full of personal insults, or worse, as these will just be ignored and remain unanswered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, if you do disagree with anything I say and believe you have factual evidence to the contrary, even if it is just an opinion you may have overheard\/discussed in the local pub, then please by all means contact me and I shall add your evidence to the conversation. I might even give it it\u2019s own discussion page if sufficient evidence is supplied, thus giving other people the opportunity to reply to your arguments, whether supporting them or contradicting them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once I have completed an article that expounds my views on a particular subject, I shall add a comment page at the end of the article for you to supply your comments on my views.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These comment\u2019s will be edited to remove any foul language but i will not attempt to edit them in such a way as to misrepresent your views.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
