clearly you are lacking in vitamin storage upstairs lol.

Seriously do some reading, try some critical thinking and then possibly we can have a intelligent conversation, I look forward to it.
I have read most of the links that you have posted in here so far; skim read in some cases + your blog (I wonder if anyone else has read that).

There are no inconsistencies IMO and I have learnt a bit about your part of the world (Montana for those who haven't indulged themselves).
Thanks!

So, what did we find out after the initial question was asked ?
The world is changing like it has always done.
People argue, like they have always done.
The climate change will influence the ways of the adventure rider, albeit not in dramatic ways. (unless you didn't count on mud in a previously drought stricken area and you never learned riding in mud It might make throwing mud at each other even easier though ! )

Not sure that a online blog has much if any scientific credibility compared to a peer reviewed scientific paper. I could post thousand of links to scientific papers but I doubt you even bother to open 50% let alone read digest and form an opinion from the contents.

"There are lies, damn lies and statistics"

Anyone who has studied statistics for even a brief second will know that with the correct application statistics can be used to confirm anything you like.

Of course the 3 % of published climate scientist who don't agree that mankind is having an influence on climate must be right. But so far non of the supporters of this view have posted anything to demonstrate this other than on line bloggers opinions

There is more to taking a few temperature readings of the planet than you will find in a newspaper article, much more:-
Weekly Climate and Energy News Roundup #217 | Watts Up With That?

Roy Spencer, PhD


http://www.drroyspencer.com/latest-global-temperatures/


El Nino gets a mention of course.

More about the EDF pricing deal

About this EDF deal.
Perhaps the E and the D mean Ed Davey?


Ed Davey Who Struck ‘Worst Ever’ Deal With EDF Now Works For EDF Lobbying Firm | The Global Warming Policy Forum (GWPF)

It must have taken a lot of negotiation to award a price 3x higher than "usual" to EDF.

The current British energy policy, based on lip service to CAGW adherents, is in the dustbin and it took a French national to highlight the point.
Finally, someone at EDF sees the £18bn farce that is Hinkley Point | Business | The Guardian

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
