In case you missed it, this year will be Britain's warmest since records began. That is, in 1659.
A study this year by Peter Stott at the Met Office's Hadley Centre for Climate Change found that warming over the past 50 years could only be explained by climbing emissions of greenhouse gases. A 1C rise in the past five decades was only reproduced by climate models when human-induced greenhouse gas emissions were included.

I don't doubt that there is more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere now than previously and I know something of the widely advertised consequences, but what about that other "greenhouse gas", methane? In light of the renewed prospects of a fart tax or whatever we are going to be lumbered with, this is worth checking out: http://www.americanscientist.org/template/AssetDetail/assetid/54097
