While we have got this snow, they reckon parts of Australia are basking/roasting in temperatures of 45 degrees

Well, it is their summer!

The Met office was recently forced to admit that there nhas been no warming for almost 15 years.

I thought the current warm spell peak ended about 5 years a go and it has been getting cooler since, hence the series of harsher winters. There were similar warm peaks to this in 1000 and 1760.

Reported to have stopped 16 years ago,although the men at the Met say its going to start up again in about 5 years time.

Thanks for that link, it is much appreciated and bookmarked for the next time I encounter some yogurt knitters. 

Three things in the article amused me the climate steady deniers at the University of East Anglia, saying give it 15 years and we might be wrong, are now saying give us 20 years we might be wrong. 1880 has nothing to do with accurate temperature measurement, but was the end of the last significant cold period, going back further with tree ring analysis, mean their hockey stick warming graph and climate modelling doesn't fit the historical facts, and UoEA admitting that their modelling does not even handle the first order climate variation factors, like sun output and ocean currents accurately. 

I have always thought of it as pseudo science as you can't predict random events in the future. A good example of which is the Japanese earthquake moved the earths axis by about 25mm. This random event will have had a slight effect on our climate.

please have a look at this page

Good plant food is increasing, where plants need to be more productive to feed an increasing population. 

It also seems to indicate that CO2 as a trace element and claimed by many scientists has no effect of earth's temperatures.  And if their wrong and it does, it helps to stave off the next ice age, which would be a real disaster for Northern civilizations.
