For anyone out there still delusional enough to be clinging to the idea that Global Warming is an entirely natural phenomena, unaffected by the vast amounts of CO2 etc. that we have pumped into the atmosphere:

"HUMANS have fuelled a one degree Celsius rise in British temperatures in just 45 years, a disturbing new study shows.

Records dating back 350 years reveal that burning fossil fuels is 'almost certainly' behind the rise across Central England.
The documents cover 103,600 square kilometres from East Anglia to the Midlands.
Because they are so specific, natural global fluctuations in climate can be discounted to create a picture of rising temperatures brought about largely by human activity.
The findings come from a Met Office study of a unique and detailed set of records from 1659, when the average temperature in Central England was 8.83 degrees C. By the 1950s, it had climbed to 9.42 degrees C and last year hit 10.44 degrees C.

Researcher Dr Peter Stott said: 'This is a remarkable signal. Sharpe spikes in warming have been recorded in regions across the world.'
'But, because we in the UK hold this unique temperature record stretching back nearly 350 years, we are able to say that background climate noise can't reasonably be held responsible.'

Jason Torrance, from the Climate Clinic, an event being held at a major party conference later this year, said the findings were 'deeply worrying'.
He added: 'A large slice of our country has warmed by a degree in the short period of time since man went into space, and it's down to what we as humans are doing.'
'If the current trend continues, the climate of our own country will face profound changes in the lifetime of our children.'"

For all those sceptics out there who can't see the link between humanity's output and rising temperatures, just keep repeating the mantra, 'IT'S JUST COINCIDENCE'.
Our children and their children will know who to thank for the ruined planet they inherit.
