Bishop Hill I'm off
Aug 13, 2012 I'm off to London this morning. There will be some inevitable hanging around during the day, so I may be able to check in from time to time (but then again, maybe not).
On Tuesday I will be hooking up with Steve M for a few hours before heading home. Normal service may therefore not be resumed until Wednesday.

You missed it, it finished last night!
So is this post-normal or pre-normal?
@Richard Drake
This sounds more like something in between to me:
Prost! ;)
Please let him know how appreciative of his efforts we all are.
I just knew it

Thought Bishops had a Mitre not a McIntyre.
Still, what's a cny between friends.....
O/T but for those starved of reading material, there has been an interesting bust-up between Willis and Mosher over at Lucia's (on the 'On Volcanoes' thread).
Talking of volcanoes..

Bish,

Scots will be making cabers from palm trees :^)
Seems to be a problem over at GPWF : "This account has been suspended". Has someone sneaked in during the McIntyre presentation and pulled the plug out?
Bloody Hell! I bet Benny's spent all our petty cash on wining and dining McSteve and that Bishop Montford chappie. No wonder we can't pay the website bill.
Why have all the lights gone out?
JoNova's lights out too.
Jonathan Jones says (via climataudit) that he will be there to see Steve speak. Here's once vote for our genial host to offer to post it up, should he deign to write a report up! Thank you.

Very interesting!
"The latest government-sponsored study into what we in Britain can expect from climate change...Maybe 5 to 7 degrees warmer..." This is from a soon-to-be-issued report from the Living With Environmental Change programme. "The LWEC Partnership: 21 public sector organisations that fund, carry out and use environmental research and observations. They include the UK research councils, government departments with environmental responsibilities, devolved administrations and government agencies."
.
Fascinating to browse its website.

Thanks for the link. Indeed fascinating: it would appear to be a mutual admiration society. I particularly liked the list of experts arranged alphabetically by first names.
ssat even more interesting is that the 'expert' making the completely erroneous claims on the programme (a Dr Peter Carey) is not mentioned on the LWEC website.
I tweeted about this yesterday, and today Richard Betts tweets that the claims (UK as warm as Madeira in 2060) are wrong.
Paul M,
The last on the list of advisers is Vicky Pope, head of the climate predictions programme at the Met Office Hadley Centre. Do we detect some discord betwixt her and Betts? Did the BBC run any checks before airing this?
