UK BOM confirms Monk is a tard

[IQSRLOW]

Monk has been stating emphatically that the cold in Europe is because of AGW slowing the gulf stream. Even after he gets confirmation that he is wrong, he refuses to believe it.

What a complete fuckwit!

Good morning

You recently asked if the two cold winters in the UK were related to a weakening of the Gulf Stream. We don't think so. It's really just normal climate variability/. The Gulf Stream keeps our part of the world mild because our prevailing winds comes from the same direction. However climate variability means that occasionaly that prevailing wind regime breaks down and a blocked pattern produces easterly or northerly winds across the UK. Those winds bring the very cold air that we have seen fairly often during the last two winters.

I really do not believe this, and will believe it even less if the next European/UK winter is equally severe

[Jovial Monk]

“. . .Will believe it even less if the next UK winter is equally severe.”

Nice little hypothesis I put out there, that will be tested in 12 months or so.

With the melting of Arctic ice and Greenland icesheets the Gulf stream has to be being weakened—do some reading and see. There is also the melting of the methane clathrates in the arctic circle and consequent changes. Because one authority rejects my hypothesis doesn’t mean I drop it but if next NHemis winter is mild I will drop or modify it.

The Australian BoM has a slightly different take on it, BTW. We will see.

I do have Uni qualifications, however rusty, in this area.

You're a moron and a tard then

[Jovial Monk]

Like you would know, tinkerbell.

[IQS.RLOW]

The BOM confirmed that you have no idea what you are talking about.

I already knew

[Jovial Monk]

Well, I guess as an ignorant little fairy you do probably believe that.

Looks like your the ignorant fag, fag

[Jovial Monk]

In fact, if you know the significance of the Gulf Stream aka Atlantic Conveyor and are aware of the shrinkage of Arctic and Greenland ice that there is no effect on the Gulf Stream and consequently on UK/European climate. Not to mention the methane clathrates.

This is a letter from the Australian BoM:

1973/1974 was a very strong La Nina so the current floods and those in 1974 have many similarities. While it remains too early to be certain the two floods look to be comparable - this time the massive Wivenhoe dam has played a major role in mitigating flood peaks so the lower peaks being record are more a result of engineering than "rainfall".

You are correct in observing that northern Australia has been getting wetter and southern Australia drying. The drying in the south is most evident in the southwest of Western Australia, but is also evident in parts of southern SA and Victoria. This pattern of rainfall change is generally consistent with global warming - as the planet warms the tropical regions tend to get wetter while the subtropical regions tend to get drier.

The cold in Europe etc has been a bit overblown in the media. The last winter (2009/10) was the warmest on record for the northern hemisphere and event the recent December 2010 was much warmer than average. What the media fail to report is that while Europe has been cold, other areas have been abnormally hot. Most recently we have been witnessing very "high" temperatures in Canada and the Arctic which have been more extensive and more exceptional than the cooler temperatures over Europe.

Science does not go by appeals to authority. It goes by testing hypotheses. If you had had any education you would know that.

[IQS.RLOW]

Hypotheses are hypothesised by people who know what they are talking about.

BOM has confirmed that you know nothing about what you are talking about, tard
