Thank goodness global warming is only a myth!

Winter 'second warmest on record'

The UK has experienced its second warmest winter on record, with a mean temperature of 5.47C (41.8F), provisional Met Office figures show.

In southern England, the winter warmth set a new high, reaching 6.53C (43.8F), beating 6.49C (43.7F) in 1989-90.

All three winter months saw above average temperatures, and January also recorded its second highest UK-wide temperature, reaching 6.0C (43F).

The Met Office's UK national record series date back to 1914.

The warmest winter on record was in 1988-89, when the mean temperature was 5.82C (42.5F).

1. While I firmly believe in global warming, you sure couldn't prove

it by the winter we have had here in So. Az. I've been here 35 years and this is the second coldest winter I can remember. (Just a personal view, not necessarily a fact) Unfortunately, the warming seems to come in the summer. Global warming seems to have the effect of making some areas really cold. Haven't these winter storms been more than usual? Weird.

The glaciers that have been around for 11,000 years will be gone in 20 years.
