The current continual torrential rain,with an odd days break or so, has nothing to do with global warming. Our present predicament was caused by exceptionally warm April causing the land temperatures to be far higher than normal. Since then most of the weather has been from the north. The cold air rises above the warmer air, causing dense rain clouds, thus the sodding,sorry, couldn't resist that, rain. The whole of northern Europes suffering, but not as bad as our islands. It'll be ok in mid July when I'm off to Tenby

You also have to remember that climate trend like global warming are measured by "average global temperatures". All the temps are averaged together to get a global one. This means that some areas can still experience record lows, the over all average though is higher.

One of the predicted effects of global warming is that we will experience more extremes in climate. Thus while southern Europe around Greece and Italy are recording incredibly high temperatures, the UK is suffering above average rainfall, floods and low temperatures.

It's very complex. Warming at the poles could produce changes in the oceans like diluting the salt content which could then change currents like the Gulf Stream. If the Gulf Stream stopped coming to Britain we'd be opening ski resorts in Devon. In other words, weather extremes will occur where we haven't known them before.

dont know that i fully understand your question. are you saying "its still cold outside, i thought the world was supposed to get hot"

global warming isnt going to turn the world into a fireball in a few years. current estimates are a 1 degree celcius increase in temperature over the next 50-100 years.

have'nt you seen the movie. 'the day after tomorrow'. the northern hemispheres climate depends on the north atlantic current. as the earth heats up the polar ice caps melt and disrupt the current, making the uk, usa and europe colder. does this answer your question. P.S. this may be the start of another ice age. P.P.S. the movie is based on scientifial evidence.
