It's still raining

Last summer we were subjected to a hosepipe ban as the climate change activists were blaming the unusually hot and dry weather on man's disastrous behaviour, leaving the way open for Ken Livingstones' London Assembly and the national government to make our life even more miserable with bloody green taxes and that sort of rubbish.

This year we had twice the average rainfall in the winter and, after a brief respite in April, it hasn't stopped raining since. A couple of weeks ago the north got flooded and last Friday was the turn of the south, especially around the River Severn. The reason is that the jet stream. a current of air at 36,000 feet that usually goes across the top of the British Isles in the summer, is just a bit off course this year, allowing the weather systems normally reserved for Iceland and Northern Scandinavia to come over here. It does happen occasionally.

Needless to say, the eco-nazi's are making all sorts of noises blaming this on CO2 emissions as well. If it's too hot it's global warming and if it's too cold and wet it's global warming! Maybe these people will only realize that they are talking nonsense if we have no weather at all - like the moon. If that happened then even I might start worrying.
