How smart are England’s global warmers?

Oh, my goodness.  Amid all the quivering fears about Global Warming, something has happened:

Autumn 2012 Mean temperature 1981 - 2010 anomaly

From The Brilliant Scientists Who Know:  “The UK Met Office report that the UK has just had its coldest autumn for nineteen years, leaving 2012 on course to be second coldest year since 1996.  Mean temperature in November was 0.4C below the 1981-2010 average, the third month in a row when temperatures have been well down on normal.

“The average temperature for the autumn in the UK was 8.6C, compared to the long term average of 9.5C and the coldest since 1993. It is also the sixth coldest autumn in the last 50 years.  The year as a whole is currently running as the second coldest since 1996, beaten only by the exceptionally cold year of 2010. Temperatures so far in December are 2 degrees below normal, and the Met Office are forecasting that this will continue for the foreseeable future.

“One of the features this autumn is just how persistent the cold weather has been. There have not been any exceptionally cold interludes, as, for instance, we saw with the heavy snow in November 2010. Instead, the weather has just been consistently cold.”

So, there we have it, a Global Warmer’s nightmare.  Consistent cold weather for the past 19 years.  Coldest ever lately.  No cheerful forecasts predicting any warmer weather. 

It’s easy to see how people could be wrong for a year or two.  But, if you’re wrong about Global Warming for 19 years, intelletual abilities have to be questioned.  How smart are England’s global warmers?
