Sheffield's day time temperatures back in double figures by next week & no frosts predicted. As they say, climate change results in milder & wetter winters. I'd sell your sledge if I were you.

Chekhov Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 (edited) 15 hours ago, El Cid said: No, hottest year ever. Thirty years ago, I would have been wearing tights under my trousers, i just need a wooly hat today. Not hot enough for me the moment. Or in fact since about September. I find this cold (and dark) so effin' depressing, I NEED to be in Tenerife for my mental health, and I am not kidding. Now, I seem to remember @Prettytom stating he had a lot of sympathy for people with poor mental health, so how does he square that with wanting to stop me flying out to Tenerife every January (which we cannot actually justify at the moment because our lad is still at school, but once he leaves, off we will go) ?

It's not Sheffield affecting the climate as such, it's the melting of the polar ice caps, the glaciers and the Tundra. Less ice to reflect the sun, more land to absorb the heat, rising sea levels and much more moisture held in the air. You know so little about it that you would be better not to comment. At least, do some research , so that you know what you are talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anna B Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 (edited) We can measure just about everything these days in ever more complicated detail, so we tie ourselves in knots with more and more existential angst. We think we know it all, but we have no real understanding of the system as a whole over eons. When I was a kid we had some really bad cold winters and the weather was appalling. Everyone was worried we might be heading into another ice-age, (which is long overdue.) Now, maybe Global warming is counteracting that problem. Who's to know?
