I've been in the desert for 3 weeks and missed this cherry of a thread. As such i shall only contribute:
Global warming affecting the Lake District then !!
but seriously ...............
What about things like Mount St Helens / Gulf Wars one and two where they burnt billions of tonnes of oil when the wells had been blown up by retreating Iraqui troops. How much crap did that chuck into the sky ? That would surely be the equivalent of millions of cars with catalytic converters. Are these events creating short term temp rises, that governments are using as tax vehicles ?
Add that to a general rise in Global Temps because we are coming out of an Ice Age and hey presto unusually large rises ?
Any comments or are these too small a scale events to have any influence on the mighty Globe ?
