Treehugger: Is The Harsh UK Winter Just Weather, Or Climate Change?

You can tell what they think, without even writing it

The UK has been battered by a miserable snow storm: the worst since 1910. Airports have been closed since Saturday, people were marooned in their cars on the highway for hours and the line-up for the Paris-bound Eurostar was around the block.

But was this storm the result of a run of bad weather or should the country officially acknowledge that its weather patterns are changing and they had better do something about it.

They never do get around to truly blaming “climate change”, you know, that thing caused by runaway greenhouse gases released by mankind that cause the Earth (and Mars) to warm up ERADICATING ALL LIFE OMG!!!!!1!!!!! Because the climate has always been completely and utterly stable prior to 1980 (or whatever year they are using this minute).

The question is: why can’t the UK cope? For one reason, the winters are unpredictable, it has only been the last three years that things have been so cold and snowy in comparison with the relatively mild and snow-free winters of the last two decades. So municipalities didn’t stock up on salt for the roads and airports didn’t bother investing in expensive snow removal equipment.

Wait, weather is unpredictable? Who knew? And, really, the UK has been having mild winters pretty much over the last 150 years, since the end of the Little Ice Age, when the climate……changed. And they had harsh winters, which lasted a good chunk of the year, for over a thousand years after the climate…..changed from a warmer one.

Obviously, you should just stop driving your car, heating your home, and cooking. Yes, I mean YOU!
