Now there's real non-science.

So now the cosmic rays are fluctuating hourly ... 'water vapour
becomes more saturated' ... wow, that's neato.
... the vapour becomes more saturated (?!) 'by cooling down' ????

Thanks for the comic relief.

Personal experience says otherwise. I was all over the Isles in the
summer of '76 and there was massive serious drought everywhere -
dangerous reservoir shortages, ground cracks you could climb into, and
people walking around without their brella's complaining about the
sun. Back there in '79 and it was shoe-squish everywhere I went.

Now if wild parrots starting nesting successfully in the garden ...

It was cooler, not extremely cold - less than 1dC of global cooling at
most - taking almost 200 years to drop that much and coming out of it
about 200 years later.

The solar explanation comes and goes like the tide.

If the NASA girls are correct about the solar slowdown,
we should know within a decade about how effective CR is.

Strangely enough, the RSS data show much more dramatic cooling than
the UAH data over the last six years anyway.

London's not flooding at all, and Britain's not under water.

Maybe a dozen counties partially affected, bad though it is in those areas.

Cite?
Otherwise troposhere is cooling, according to satellite data:

You should inform you before making such claims.
The Maunder minimum was ... ****ing cold.

Who is Bloomberg?
Does he have the same references like Solanki, Hoyt, Schatten Svensmark, Shaviv
and other real scientists?

You're simply an egomaniac liar.

Really? Is rain cooking our world in your opinion?

Except that one is busy fizzling out now.

Panic over it seems.

Interesting how 'six dead, 20,000 houses ruined in Yorkshire, roads closed
for a week' isn't a crisis but 'nobody dead, 3,000 houses flooded, roads
closed for less than a day' within commuting distance of London is a crisis
so bad that the COBRA committee has to meet.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland
I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate
All these moments will be lost in time, like icecream on the beach
Time for tea.

Point taken. :-))

But, to be fair, there weren't towards half-a-million without water for, we
now hear, up to 2 weeks.

I suspect the Severn Valley is as little enamoured as yourself!
