Correct, and to add to that this year the Sun is undergoing some extreme flares, all of which effect our weather.

But those of the Al Gore cult do not, or are not aware of that.

But if as we are told the amount of Co2 is going down then how do they equate that there is now more??

But global population is now at about 8.1 billion, lot of Co2 there and who knows how much Methane, maybe from farting ears.

#11. The Sun on which all life in its present form needs to exist in its present form on earth . Has a life cycle of its own and no doubt if you google it, the whizz kids will tell you how many million years are left or maybe less than expected? Cheers JS
Just had a Quick Look 5 billion years. You could of course ask them to be a bit more precise in their predictions. JS

Jeez John I will have to get the wife to get a lot more birthday cake candles.
Des.
Ps. I wonder if AI will be able to put a switch on sunlight so we can turn it down when it gets to hot.

Instead of cluttering the land and sea with windmills they should build thrusters all over the globe and adjust the earths orbit around the sun to suit Des. ? One only hears one side of the climate change Philosophy originally started by a failed US would be President to keep himself occupied and probably pocket money during his final years. There are other learned scientists with different views but their voice is seldom heard, politics again ? Most people only live for the years they are on this earth , they should take a quick course on the history of the world they live in and just count the ice ages it has already suffered , and not a human being in sight at the time. Cheers JS

Hi John.
What a fitting finale to lifem traipsing around in space calling into different planets to exchange stories and pick up a bit of food and a few more germs, maybe a small war here and there to get rid of a few politicians getting to be a nuisance, be just like old times as long as one doesn't try to sit on No four hatch in space.

[j.sabourn]

Keep that number 4 hatch for any sea lawyers on board Des. Could make Venus the first stop to see if it lived up to its name.? Neptune wouldn’t bother about who wants to spend time with a cranky old guy with a sharp trident ? mars for the Chocolate lovers maybe. JS

#14 you should have 76 to spare then Des , you could always give them to Graham Page who I believe is 76 today and a well attended site member , Happy birthday Graham and won’t say may all your problems be little ones , as any you do have will be big by now. Cheers and all the best, if by chance have misread the date just keep it for the next one .Regards JS
As this is on the BBC news site they may have got something right for once. Would have sent you one of my Good Conduct Medals , but rumour has it the bequeethers are having second thoughts, JS

Just to complicate matters the Australian Weather Bureau today issued a notice.
La Nina which we ad for the last three years will be back again in the second half of 2024.
A few months back we were told El Nino the hot and dry one would visit us, apparently he decided not to even though he is sitting in the southern ocean just now.
But these predictions come from humans, not the sun in all its glory.
Maybe next year they may do better.
All depends on which hat they pull the predictions from.

Talking about "News". It's been reported in at least one newspaper, the Telegraph I think, that many of the illegal migrants have been given the right to work in the UK in the care, farming, and other industries. I've been expecting that one would happen before long, it means gov.uk wants them here.
