Oh yeah, Talisman
There is evidence for long term planetary cooling ... the Milankovitch cycle. In geologic time, we are heading into an ice age (in about 30,000 years time +/-).

Of course, this has absolutely nothing to do with the climate change we’re seeing now (Leo may beg to differ). Speaking of whom, have you tried putting "Leo Lane" + "climate" into your search engine? He pops up all over the place, repeating the same mantra everywhere. Sad really, he's got nothing new to add and increasingly sounds like someone with ADHD.

The year is not over yet. It makes as much sense to say 2010 is the coldest as to say it is the hottest. It makes more sense to wait until the year ends, unless you wish to support the AGW fraud, and baselessly allege warming..

Sad is it bonmot? Even sadder that you have nothing to contribute, and are reduced to making pathetic snide comments, in lieu of anything relating to the topic. I will stop repeating the truth when it is accepted, and I can move on.

The Met office has obviously been politicised, and your motive in saying” Scientific bodies and institutions not only have to do the right thing, they have to be seen to be doing the right thing.” is questionable. It has obviously been politically corrupted, as have the conflicted parties holding the puerile “clearing” of the Climategate miscreants. There has been no proper independent legal inquiry into this corrupt scandal, and it is long overdue.

It is as odious as the “clearing” of the UN, of the “Oil for Food” swindle which they ran. No independent judicial inquiry was held, and they had some friendly banker declare the UN “clean”. In practice, all he did was declare himself dirty.

I notice some fraud backer is referring us to realclimate, the site run by the Climategate miscreant, Michael Mann, of “hockey stick” infamy, and the deceptively named Skeptical Science, where no truthful comments are allowed, and they post endless weasel worded deceptive misdirection to support the unproven assertion of AGW.

I did read that Squeers and was about to suggest an extra tax on
all those with more then 2 kids. Makes perfect sense to me,
if we are going to tax people for overloading the environment,
we might as well be consistant.

There's that word again!

"It has obviously been politically corrupted, as have the conflicted parties holding the puerile “clearing” of the Climate-gate miscreants. There has been no proper independent legal inquiry into this corrupt scandal, and it is long overdue.

Corruption!

It just wont go away:)

Acceptance of the claim that 2010 was the hottest year on record , shows how easily some can be conned, given that 1/12th of 2010 had yet to pass. December 2010 has been characterised by the coldest weather in over 20 years in the Northern hemisphere, while November passed in Brisbane without the temperature exceeding 30 degrees C, a very rare occurrence.

The claim that Climategate had been investigated and totally cleared, is subject to qualification. Were not the inquiries conducted by scientists and gullible UK politicians who believe in AG

Oops... I inadvertently left 'W' out of 'AGW'.
