Long hot summers?
This morning's Observer reports on research which predicts that Britain's rivers could nearly run dry because long hot summers caused by climate change will not be sufficiently compensated by wetter winters.
Now, I do not wish to trivialise this issue in any way, but when exactly are we getting the long hot summers? Isn't this a rather simplistic view of the impact of climate change?

It's a funny kind of thing, the global warming doom merchants warn about changes while desiring such changes to happen. They perceive that have a credibility problem, but can't get out of the habit of making funkier dire predictions - it's become a cottage industry for them, lots of doom merchant pay checks are at risk!

Helpfully these people have developed a countdown, revealing in bad-action-movie-style exactly when the world is going to end:

Personally, I'm looking forward to it.

Correct - it would be a very simplistic view of climate change; we haven't exactly been baking in South Wales the last few "summers".
Congratulations on recognising that climate change exists, reading some of the letters in the Glamorgan Gazette, there are quite a few people who think it's a myth, or if we deny it's happening it won't happen!

Of course climate change happens; it always has and always will. The current issue is whether "man made global warming" is happening, and if so is it happening to the extent claimed by certain factions? And therefore, is it really of greater importance than other issues such as the poverty that sees millions of children die every year from entirely preventable and curable illnesses.
