Another pro-AGW article in today's Telegraph, with the vast majority of comments from the "realist" camp -

Transport Minister Philip Hammond has just been on BBC Radio 5 blaming the cold weather on 'Climate Change due to the diminution of the effect of the Gulf Stream'.
Where do they find these fools?
And they were SO hoping it was going to top the charts:

How many times do we have to go thru this?
CACC is sounding more and more like a spoof site. I love this bit:
Brave the snow ... to show we are undeterred in demanding urgent action on climate change
Where are Monty Python when you need 'em?

Article in today's Independent covers UN claims that sea levels will rise 1 metre by the end of the century and Caribbean islands will be devastated -

Central England Air Temps November average figure released 5.2 degrees C.
October 2010 was 10.3 degrees C, temperature drop amazing 5.1 degrees in a month!
November 2009 was 8.7 degrees C.
It's only weather but that is astounding.
Landlords beware:
The Green Deal will change this. We should no longer condemn those who rent privately.
Landlords will face no upfront cost, and will benefit from an improved property. By 2015 every tenant should be able to be as warm as toast in their home.
This is a win, win, win situation – for the landlord, the tenant, and the climate.
I hope and expect that landlords will respond positively to the Green Deal. But this Government will not put up with tenants needlessly living in chilly conditions.
If a review into energy efficiency in the sector finds that landlords aren’t taking up this once-in-a-generation opportunity, we will respond.
If necessary, we will look to take powers to ensure that from 2015, any tenant who asks for energy efficiency improvements cannot be refused.
And we will give local authorities the power to insist that landlords improve the worst performing homes.

George Monbiot is getting kind of desperate in is blog: He airs suspicions that God is an AGW denier and sabotages climate talks, first Copenhagen, then Cancun, by bringing record cold weather.
According to the Bible, He does seem to object when people worship Mann-made idols ;)
