It could be. The earth is warming up and has been for about four hundred years. It depends what you believe as regards why that is - the science and politics of global warming are worth billions - so you either believe it's cause of humans or not - but those involved just might not be interested in science alone, what with all that ready money flying around.
Be careful of those climate models though. They are entirely guesswork. The atmosphere is dynamic, constantly changing and vastly unpredictable. Scare stories do no one any good. Don't forget the impending ice age in the 1970's, which was going to kill us all.
Yes lets see what we can do about global warming, but lets stop being so bloody hysterical about it. It's almost a religion (for Gods sake.)

Yes, I think it is climate change.
The Earth has gone through climate change before though, like when Britain was one great ice sheet and was connected to Europe - then the Earth became hotter, the ice sheets melted, that's when the English Channel was made and Britain became an island, the people on Britain at the time where cut off from the rest of Europe. They had to adapt, humans could live on Britain which they couldn't before for instance.
Maybe if we weren't using so much stuff that is damaging the o - zone layer than it wouldn't be such a dramatic change, but some sort of climate change was bound to happen at some point. Maybe we are just causing it to change more quickly or maybe the increase in heat wouldn't have been so high if we weren't damaging the o - zone layer.
I think we need to act now to prevent the o zone becoming even more damaged and whatever we do needs to be continued for a good many years so the o - zone can 'mend' itself and the climate can sort itself out.

Whether or not this years hottest April on record in the UK is coming from our climate change (which I believe it is with all the strange weather we see everywhere) something needs to be done. Because if this isn't quite it yet, then it will be very shortly unless we all act. I believe that each and everyone one of us can do there little part by recycling, driving our cars less, buying less useless item we don't really need and be mindful of how we consume energy at home and demanding from our politicians that they force the industries to change as well and don't turn a blind eye on it and tell us it will cost too much. It will all cost us way more when we have to deal with drought, hurricanes, floods etc.

Over thousands of years the climate has changed drastically, many times. Britain has been covered in ice sheets and has also been a tropical landscape. The changes are generally slow, and many happened before the so called 'since records began' phase. There are many causes of a slight warming of our climate, undoubtedly our cavalier attitude to carbon emissions is partly responsible, but so is the natural shift in orbit, sunspots etc. We just have to learn to adapt, as our ancestors had to.

the respond is now because it has consistently been. end based on the government to remedy complications it isn't any longer geared up to remedy and enable the unfastened marketplace look after it because it consistently has. worldwide Cooling (strike that) worldwide Warming (strike that) climate replace isn't a huge catastrophe or perhaps a lot of a concern. a number of those scientists evaluate it virtuous to embroider information, exaggerate certitudes, suppress inconvenient archives, and control the peer-evaluation technique to suppress scholarly dissent and, particularly, to declare that the communicate is over. Why do you assume it is? between the leaked CRU email says: "in actual actuality that we will not account for the shortcoming of warming on the 2nd and it is a travesty that we will not." BTW this "2nd" is in its 2nd decade. Do you extremely mean to signify that we wager our freedom and our fortune on such nonsense? Skeptics doubt that the scientists' fashions, that can not clarify the present, infallibly map the distant destiny. count extensive variety me among them. There are no longer any reward to realize in "living house grown jobs in renewable power production" because of fact it is being funded and promoted via the comparable corrupt government, industries and scientists because of fact the full worldwide Warming delusion itself. in case you pick to confirm reward in jobs and financial improve, get the darned government out of the flexibility agency and enable the indoors maximum sector do what it does maximum suitable. *

Meanwhile, we had one of the coolest on record where I live.
The climate changes, always has, always will.

mainly it was due to the trapped weather system,at the moment a new system has developed were cold moist air is being drawn from the Nth sea as I recall this has never happened over this period of time,

I think it probably is. If we could solve global warming now then it'd be ace. I could do with more Aprils like this years.

yes, without any doubt, and in 30 years half the USA will be a desert, south Europe will have monsoon and we will cultivate Greenland.
