Weather we like it or not.

More cold, snowy weather today and it's nearly April.  There's been some talk of climate change etc. bringing about these extremes of weather we have had over the last few years, but do we really know what we are talking about?  You can put me in the 'climate sceptic' (skeptic?) bracket because although we hear about 'worst weather since 19xx', do we ever stop to think hang on, if it's the worst weather since 19xx, the it's been worse that this before we even thought about the phrase global warming.  Our so called experts seem to trot out announcements just as we get a bad day or two like this week for instance: the governments adviser on something or other said we have to prepare for more extremes of weather such as we are experiencing now.  I know predictions are always dangerous as we have seen with the financial markets, but this weather thing smacks of someone justifying their job and stating something that we do anyway.  To day we have to prepare for more bad weather is ridiculous.  What should we do? buy more snow ploughs?  The ones we have stand idle most of the time.  I think he was trying to make us think that way, then whatever happens we wouldn't blame anyone - a sort of apologist before the event.  I'm not sure I'm making much sense with this, but I know what I'm trying to say even if my hands have not transcribed it very well.
