Climate Change 'To Blame' For Storms
Updated: 9:46am UK, Sunday 09 February 2014
Climate change is almost certainly to blame for the severe weather that has caused chaos across Britain in recent weeks, the Met Office's chief scientist has said.
Dame Julia Slingo said there was not yet "definitive proof" but that "all the evidence" pointed to a role for the phenomenon.
The Met Office's latest analysis finds that persistent rainfall over Indonesia and the tropical West Pacific triggered the weather system that has sent wave after wave of storms across the Atlantic to the UK.
It says: "The severe weather in the UK coincided with exceptionally cold weather in Canada and the USA.
"These extreme weather events on both sides of the Atlantic were linked to a persistent pattern of perturbations to the jet stream over the Pacific Ocean and North America.Comment

there is also no evidence to refute that this has happened loads of times before, and will happen loads of times again. IT DOESN'T ******* PROVE ANYTHING.

Interesting reading. Truthful?
Inside the Environment Agency - Welcome to Inside the Environment Agency
They should have asked where all the £1200 million spent last year went. Why was only £20 m spent on maintaining ditches and culverts? Why so little on dredging? Why have dredging machines been sold off for scrap or allowed to rust without use in some places? Why did the INCREASE in the staff budget, £30m, exceed the total spend on essential maintenanceComment
