This is an outrage!!! Everyone knows Obama is Teh Won who controls the weather!!!!
Not that loser Cameron!!!
Well, maybe they can share the credit. ![]()
Yes, this is all rather idiotic, but, that’s what the Guardian specializes in. They are sooo cutting edge and cerebral. These pinheads actually believe the government controls the weather!!!!
Is the weather worse under the Coalition government?
Is it possible that David Cameron‘s Britain is a colder place than Tony Blair‘s? Or one with less sunshine? Well, maybe.
For those who feel that the UK is turning – like Narnia under the White Witch – into a land where it is “always winter and never Christmas” we wondered how the weather has changed under this government – and how it compares to previous parties in power.
The Met Office handily publishes monthly averages for sunshine, rainfall and temperature on its site. So we took the data and performed a crude analysis on it to work out the difference for each month of each Prime Ministers’ rule compared to the ten year average before they took power. So if the average of every July that a government was in power was higher – or lower – than the average of the decade before they got in, we thought that might be interesting.
They even come with graphs and data!!!!
In case some readers think this is some sort of stupid joke, here’s the concluding paragraph…..
And for those who are already making lists of things that could be wrong with the analysis, we’re way ahead of you: It doesn’t take account of climate change happening anyway; PMs in power for shorter periods (ie, Gordon Brown and John Major) will have less variability in the weather anyway, compared to Blair and Thatcher, each in power for over a decade. There are probably many other reasons not to do the analysis – but the data we used is in the spreadsheet below. Check it out – and let us know what you can do with it.
There’s nothing left to say but, the Age of Stupid continues, Guardian style.
Reblogged this on Climate Ponderings and commented:
HA HA HA HA!
Worry not. UK is doing its best to stop Global Warming.

Behold:
“Greenpeace campaigner Ben Stewart, who climbed the towers in 2006, said it marked the beginning of the end of coal burning in the UK.
He added: “Off shore wind is where we should be focusing, given Britain is the Saudi Arabia of wind, and we should grasp the opportunity to make a huge investment there.
“We’re the last generation that can do something about climate change. We’re right at the crunch point.””
Well, maybe they can really share credit with Zero!! 🙂
yes but it’s trending down!…………..
…ok, that’s enough…too much to read for right now, I’ll have to catch up in the morning
I’ve been out chasing Winnebagos all day………….
You can probably make a new game out of this kind of stuff and call it “Age of Stupidity”. 😆
No doubt, thinking of making a new category just for this madness.
It’s all Bush’s fault.
