Foreign Perspectives

We should be sitting in the sun today but instead we’re freezing with a biting wind blowing quite a gale as I look outside from our conservatory towards the hillside.

Aren’t conservatories wonderful things? This isn’t even a sponsored post and I’m praising them anyway!

Seriously though, it really shouldn’t be as cold today as it actually is. We should still be able to use solar power to heat the water but it’s simply not a runner at the moment.

Although people can often assume that global warming would mean exactly that, in fact it wouldn’t as global warming would change the climate in ways that aren’t necessarily fully understood. Yes, some parts would be warmer and perhaps the earth as a whole would be, but in that transition to a warmer earth some areas would have severe changes to their weather patterns.
