Weather presenters telling us March was the sunniest and driest March on record for England. Then why the f*ck is my garden still soaking wet and the grass hasn't needed cutting yet? Why is tree pollen season later this year?
My observations tell me that they're wrong certainly for the NE of England anyway.

but next year it will be even more sunny and dry like the year after that will be until we reach net zero for the rest of the non believing countries to have there worst weather on record. all i,ll say is that the early spring flowers were later this year than last because they did not understand how to behave to keep the bullshit going.

The simple answer is that yes, they do think we're stupid.

And from the absolute bollocks they manage to get many millions of people to fall for, sadly it appears that they are 100% correct.

what do we expect when so many believe that the bbc is always correct and are happy to pay for there propaganda licence as they think its value for money. bigger waste of money than buying one for the riverside and watch pools every week.

I'm enjoying the weather!

Don't listen to the BBC news/weather so would have no idea what is happening regard this so called climate change, except as a reason to extract more money from us poor plebs.

Cut the lawns 3 times already since March, daffodils are out early for a change, usually May they flower.
Using this week and next week to do my usual spring clean of the garden, I'm pleased the sun is out, usually it rains March/April time.

Then again if it was raining every day in March, they would be blaming climate change.
It is just weather!

The worse one out of all weather personnel...Laura fucking Tobin off GMB!!! The way she goes on about climate change is manical. And then when the weather warms up she wants to take the credit for it. I honestly really think that she thinks she controls the weather.

Meteorologists couldn't predict last weeks weather. Nevermind what was the record was years ago. Records only begin in the early 1900.

NASA says the climate is resetting itself every year, but unfortunately the media block they reports, because it tells the truth.

David Attenborough has been banging on about the polar ice caps melting for years, yet I watched one of his Frozen Planet episodes at the weekend and it showed a pod of Beluga Whales trapped in a tiny ice hole in the Antartic as in his words it'd been "one of the coldest winters on record" :roll:

F*cking sick to death of them telling us we need to give up cars and install heat pumps while they're flying all over the world to show us what they want us to believe.
The weekly raffle for a big prize on GMB is promoted by that Andi Peters bloke from a different luxury resort usually followed by the twatess mentioned above telling us how green we need to be. They really must think we're all "as grass".

Also, years ago we didn't have all these wonderful satatlies monitoring the weather 24/7 and temperatures across the globe.

Notice how we don't get told, it's been the coldest winter on record across the northern hemisphere and the polar vortex are getting colder and record amount of snow. However, as as the sun shines for 2 days, it's a mini heat wave and as soon as we hit double figures, we are hotter than Athens, Madrid, Rome and Ibiza. :angry-tappingfoot:

What? Stupid enough to look at a patch of turf in our back garden as a reliable indicator of whether climate change is real or not? Nobody is that daft.

Who's doubting climate change, it's been changing since the earth was formed hasn't it, why would it stop now? Certainly not because Mad Ed wants it to!
If you read my original post I'm using my patches of grass to understand what's happening around me rather than simply taking what some presenter, usually chosen by audience appeal, as gospel. You'd have to be an absolute chump to do that.

Nah don't listen to people who've studied for years and analysed shit loads of meteorological data. I fully expect people to start going to see the wise woman instead of the doctor then. Two things must ye know about the wise woman!

Think they draw the weather forecast out of a hat!
Always wrong - we were meant to have loads of snow at the back end of January - was happily gearing myself up for a couple of snow days off school and the best we managed was a couple of showers of sleet- was fucking fuming!

You'd think given all the advances in technology and data over the years they might be a bit more accurate. They just use a broad brush like the mad fuckers that write the horoscopes! When It came to horoscopes, my old Gran was the Best- she used to read all of them and then choose which one she'd be for that day!

Heard a stat yesterday that is been the sunniest March ever- how could you possibly measure that? It's complete bollocks

Ever considered the possibility they give you the info they want to give you to suit their politicised agenda and to gain advantage for the aims and targets…..the days of the weather ‘man’ have long gone.

They're not all qualified in meteorology though are they, many are chosen to present the weather because of their photogenic rather than knowledge.
It's the weather, it's notoriously unpredictable even for those who have studied - remember "there's no hurricane coming"?
If the weather presenter says its sunny tomorrow, but I wake up and it's raining are they right. Sometimes the evidence of your own senses is better than what the "experts" want to tell you. I was around Sedgefield yesterday and there's still loads of fields with huge lakes in them - or they may have been mirages due to all the sunshine through that record sunniest March eh?

or studied for years by being taught by people with a certain agenda to think a certain way. its sense to say climate change exists as it has since man first walked the earth and god knows how long before it happened. really how long is say 10 years a percentage of the age of the earth itself. now a single hot day is seen as the end of the world.

They blatantly lie to us all the time in the belief that if you tell the lie often enough people accept it as the truth.
Here's another one, "Pensioners have been protected by the Triple Lock", said by Starmer, Reeves, etc al (people who have studied for years and are running the country). The reality is we've lost WFA, we've got above inflation Council Tax, Energy, Water, etc price increases and the increase in the pension doesn't touch the f*cking sides!! But we're better off according to the "experts".
Use your own senses and experiences to gauge how your world is changing rather than believing all of these truths spouted by the "experts /influencers".

spot on. its bloody obvious if your money goes up by £100 but your outgoings are more you are worse off but so many cannot see it. you can cut down on your expenditure but there is a limit in how far you can go. if my parents came back from the grave and i told em i can only afford to come to the vic once a month with the amount of state pension i get they,d say i must be splashing the cash on foreign holidays, new clothes and going on the piss every night if thats all i can afford to do.

My state pension went up by £12 a week…so the water rates increase has taken one week a month out straight away…so it’s obvious when the increase are tallied up the income will be less….thanks for for my LG pension and my French Pension… glad I bothered now…although the French one was non contributory….they’ll be a thing of the past now. sadx .

I've worked with meteorologists. They say what the data says. That's it. That's all.

And quite a few are not meteorologists anyway, some of them probably can't spell science let alone understand it.
So when I look outside and it's raining but these people yell me it's sunny, I tend to believe the actuality not the theory. Stupid or sensible?

You mean the weather girls. I'm not sure they are quite numerous enough to be represen :laugh: tative of the profession or even just the women in the profession.

Prediction sometimes go wrong but historical analysis is far easier as you can imagine!

I've worked with meteorologists too and most of them having issued a forecast include a confidence figure against said forecast, rarely seen any better than 85%. And as a lot of them day a weather forecast is someone's best guess.
Be interesting to see the confidence figures regarding the predictions of climate Armageddon.

The people you relied on are far removed from the people I’m thinking of.
The media channel hoppers mostly self taught smart arses who have more in common with Star Trek fans.

but why do they employ an extra person to read the auto cue when one of the presenters could easily do it. a weather presenter could have all the qualifications in the world to tell us what anyone can actually tell you or what you can look up in a few seconds anyway. hust because someone has big tits or a pretty face will not alter the weather available.
