Global warming fading from view.

With regard to the whole Global Warming debate a peculiar trend is beginning to emerge within the press and media and other quasi scientific literature. It is the slow but noticeable discard of the term Global Warming in favour of the more all embracing term Climate Change.

To us this seems like a significant admission of failure on the part of those who erroneously - and despite the evidence to the contrary - have tried to maintain that the world is heating up to a disastrous extent, or any extent at all. Obviously if this were true then you would not have the anomalies of the posts below, with the harshest winter conditions, and snow that falls even in the deserts of Saudi Arabia. Of course there really never was any Global Warming and nor will this ever hasten the demise of the planet, or its people. Somewhere along the line this realisation had to occur to even the most vociferous of Global Warming advocates, and finally this message appears to have penetrated.

So what happens now? Global Warming disappears in favour of Climate Change. Now the argument is focused on anomalies that appear to have developed within the worlds climate. Talk about stating the obvious. The worlds climate has always changed to the extent where it has never been possible to arrive at a clear idea of what constitutes a normal state of global climate.

In fact open minded scientists are always discovering new patterns of climate, operating to cycles of tens, hundreds of even thousands of years, that all prove that the planets climate is in a constant state of flux and has nothing whatever to do with our activities here on Earth. For example one of the most disastrous examples of Climate Change is the one that turned the Sahara Desert from a verdant fertile plain into one of the most arid and inhospitable regions on Earth within a very short time. And this was well before the so called 'carbon imprint' of Humanity could possibly have taken effect, and shows in quite dramatic fashion how this planet has always exhibited the most extreme Climate Change properties dating back many thousands of years before the Industrial Age was ever thought of.
