The Weather

A long (>1m) line of processionary caterpillars marched past my shooting cushion this morning, I have never before seen them active at this time of year, always fun to gently remove (tweezers recommended due to their irritancy) the last one in the line, the procession immediately stops as if to say "where's Fred gone?", place him back and off they march again

What if you took Fred from the back and put him at the front?

I certainly believe we should stop rainforest destruction but as for greenhouse gases? If carbon dioxide holds so much heat why aren't we filling double glazing units with it?
Where I live in Cheshire there is a flat plain stretching out to the Irish Sea, it was flattened by a glacier which melted and slid off the Pennines, somehow it completely missed Manchester Airport and Fiddlers Ferry power station.

Under the Arctic ice there is oil, gas and coal, this required vegetation to form, so where did that come from. The Romans grew grapes in Yorkshire, warm enough back then too.

I firmly suspect that last time our part of the world warmed up there was nobody interested in keeping records, beside the fact that they didn't have thermometers. Maybe it's all a plot to slow down the rapid industrial development of Third World countries to give the West time to get its act together?

Its all about the jet streams thee na's! Too low and we get blasted with arctic flow, too high and we get melted from equatorial fumes. That's it in a nutshell, next question.
