With all the hype and speculation the current bad weather has produced it would appear that most people have overlooked the most obvious explanation.

We are told that the world was once in the grip of an Ice Age, which means that global warming has been going on since time began. We can hardly blame the motor car for what is happening today.

I prefer to believe that nature will take its course regardless of what mankind says or does, for nature is all powerful.

All creatures can adapt to changing patterns, so maybe we should start building boats?
