Ok, so we just got back from vacation, and what a time it was too. Here we're talking of the weather scene where most of northern Europe was treated to one of its coldest Easter's on record. Britain, Germany, France and many other nations saw heavy snow falls, that brought chaos to roads and travel arrangements in general.
But just one moment!!! Isn't this supposed to be the age of Global Warming when we are meant to be choking under clouds of carbon dioxide? Well it must have been a dream. Either way there was no sings of anything resembling a heatwave and every sign that contrary to popular expectation we are heading towards the next Ice Age. Ok, strike that last comment. But who knows!! After all there's as much evidence to support the idea of a coming Ice Age as to say we are in a catastrophic period of Global Warming.
Inevitably there were those who called attention to the fact that this was the earliest Easter vacation for around a hundred years or so. Quite correct. But even bearing this in mind average temperatures in Britain over this period were at least two to three degrees colder than usual for this time of year. It means of course that those that insist we are heading for catastrophically hot conditions in the near future have a lot of explaining to do.
