re: 100 mph winds batter England, Wales and Europe

No offense Lindy, because usually I would side with you on such issues. But to say there was a big storm so it must be related to global warming is just nonsense. For as long as there has been the recording of weather there has been occasional extreme weather. 1987 saw a major storm in the UK - 47 killed or perhaps back in 1782 when 3,500+ were killed by a Hurricane here in Blighty etc etc....

I have concerns over what we are doing to the environment, I have concerns over what patterns we can see within the environment, and I have major concerns that we're not doing enough to find out if they are related and what, if anything, we can do to help the situation.

But I would only say "looks - 5 inches of rain in 24 hours..that'll be global warming then" ironically and for comedy purposes.
