The story continues (Northern Ireland edition)

Following on from Richard North’s piece on EU Referendum ‘The Story Continues’ about BBC reports of snow falling at the summit of Mount Snowdon in Wales on Friday (despite a story three years ago suggesting all snow would disappear from the mountain within 15 years), we are pleased to bring you the Northern Ireland edition.

Savour if you will these images published on the BBC NI website from the village of Comber (pronounced Cumber) in Northern Ireland, which sits a few minutes south east of Belfast. They were taken on the evening of Thursday 9th June 2011.



It was the talk of the area and even prompted phone calls from my family in the area to tell me about the cold and miserable weather and series of hail storms. Needless to say the weather is somewhat out of the ordinary.  But that is not the view of the BBC.  It was at pains to ensure the caption under one of the images contained this message from one of its weather forecasters:

BBC weather forecaster Angie Philips said hail was not very unusual in June.

Given the scale of the hail storm they experienced, the good folk of Comber may beg to differ.

    If hail in June is that unusual in NI, surely that furthers the warmist case that the weather is cocked up due to anthropogenic climate change?

    The term is anthropogenic global warming, and if the globe is warming why would it be cold enough for hail in the summer?

    Consider the ice cover off Finland which lasted well into spring, the snow and ice in the US and the bitter winter again in China and Mongolia and you can see an absence of warming.

    It’s now, de facto, Anthropogenic Climate Destruction. Kind of redundant, since per the Greenies anything Anthropogenic is inherently Destructive.
