Good article - The Global Warming Hiatus Is Real, So Why Don’t We Hear About It? - by David Whitehouse in the Speccie blog.

Prof Nurse was speaking at a news briefing about the impact of a withdrawal on UK science. He was joined by other research leaders who also want Britain to remain inside the EU."Being in the EU gives us access to ideas, people and to investment in science," Prof Nurse said.
"That, combined with mobility (of EU scientists), gives us increased collaboration, increased transfer of people, ideas and science - all of which history has shown us drives science."
Prof Nurse added that as part of the EU, the UK has influence in directing research among nations that collectively have become a "powerhouse" of science on a par with the US and China.
EU exit 'risks British science', never really did like him, but why are we not setting out UK science as the best in the world without the need to include other countries, Royal Society..... how many Royal Societies are there in Europe?

Thanks LB, just had a quick skim through looks very interesting. IIRC Recretos is the guy who produced some amazing 3D simulations of the polar vortex.
With regard to the coming spring Judah Cohen's latest predicts further disruption of the polar vortex! Not unheard of this late in winter but far from the norm.
".......• The very active vertical energy transfer this winter is not done just yet as one more pulse is predicted this week. This pulse is leading to further disruption of the polar vortex, which will be of longer duration than previous disturbances of the polar vortex this winter.• With the polar cap geopotential heights (PCHs) warming first in the troposphere and then in the stratosphere the negative phase of the AO is favored through the end of winter........"

It appears that Martin Durkin of The Great Global Warming Swindle is to make a Brexit movie. Pretty sure it will be excellent, and looking forward to his take on it.

BBC: CO2 hiding in the ocean
The BBC discovers natural sinks. Perhaps one day they'll get around to looking at the actual temperature trends, hurricane indices, sea-level trends, rainfall trends - instead of asking their go-to alarmist for a scare story.

Expect to hear from another 'interested' group.
