The national weather office says Britain is experiencing its longest cold snap since 1981. The unusually cold weather is expected to continue for the next two weeks. Forecasters say that, while rare, the recent bout of cold weather isn't necessarily a sign of climate change.
Notice a subtle semantic trick -- "cold weather isn't necessarily a sign of climate change". We're beginning to see a shift in how words are defined. In the not too distant past, Global Warming was equated with "climate change." As it becomes clear that there is no global warming, the definition of "climate change" morphs into something else, which I would surmise will be a new crisis of some sort, different from Global Warmimg, but the responsibility nevertheless of the tax payer.
