    Weather different in other parts of the world SHOCKER

  2. Other Al

    I mean, have they not been watching the Winter Olympics, where phrases such as “warmest January on record in Vancouver” have been used a lot?

  3. Other Al

    Oh dear fuck, I just spotted the “Mothers in Law: the truth” bit in the banner. Fucking hell.

  4. Phil

    I admit I haven’t read the story, but would I be right in guessing this isn’t the Express admitting they got the whole climate change story wrong?

  5. Smogo

    Dudes. It’s FEBRUARY. “IT WAS the hottest January ever”, not “IT’S BEEN”.

    Idiots.

  6. TedB

    The truth about mother in laws, appears to be that they’re all men which must come as a shock for the father-in-laws!

  7. Mister J

    Right, so suddenly the record heatwaves that struck Australia, Canada, and several other nations don’t count when you consider the average GLOBAL temperature?

  8. Original Paul

    She has sharp knees!

  9. audrey

    damn those ‘climate experts’ with their so-called ‘thermometers’

  10. Stinky

    That is a staggering headline. Surely even Express readers can see how illogical it is.

  11. Phil

    Surely it’s meteorologists, not climatologists, that determine how hot a month was.

  12. Ang Men

    Is:

    “don’t laugh, but it’s been the hottest january ever say climate change experts”

    The definition of “little Englander”!!!!!!!

  13. Chris

    The sad thing is, you will get letter sent in agreeing. Like.

    “How dare these climate crooks wanting my taxes tell me that it’s been the hottest january in history, globally. I am looking out of my window and looking at my frozen ornamental pond. Do they think they are stupid!”

    The funny thing is that the letters sent in tend to answer themselves.

    I read one yesterday saying:

    “Evan Daniels, and the cronies at the liberal BEEB, try to use facts to claim that increased migration is down to growth, and a most of the jobs they fill are not wanted by the English. How dumb does he think we are. Does he think we are morons?”

    Hahaha. hmmmmm. What I said about answering your own questions!

    ** “How dare these climate crooks wanting my taxes tell me that it’s been the hottest january in history, globally. I am looking out of my window and looking at my frozen ornamental pond. Do they think we are stupid!”

  15. Chris

    Another great “answer your own questions” habit of Express letter writers. The constant:

    “Labour hates people like us”..

    Haha, yeah, probably

  16. Chris

    To explain to The Express, and it’s readers.

    You have localised weather, and global weather.

    Just because it’s been pretty cold in England, doesn’t mean that the planet on a whole has been colder.

    As in, the coldest winter in the UK for years, has been one of the warmest in Candian, Arctic, Norwegian, Swedish, Green land, South American history as far as I’m aware.

  17. Jake

    Note to Express readers:

    England is a tiny island in the middle of the sea, who’s weather systems are based on whatever way the wind happens to be blowing.

    The vast majority of the planet does happen to have different weather than her majesties empire.

    That’s the problem with Express readers. They actually think that England is as geographically great, as they ideologically think it is!

  18. Other Al

    I think the writer and readers will be amazed when they discover that it was summer time in Australia in January. A really fucking hot one, in some parts, at that.

  19. christof

    That made me laugh out loud ‘Other Al’

  20. Tom (iow)

    Now Labour says there is a world beyond YOU

  21. hel

    the truth about mothers-in-law: they’re all panto dames.

  22. JohnD

    I saw this ruddy paper and seeing the main headline made my heart sink. With the likes of The Sexpress and other twonks in the press siding with the climate change denialists, thus altering the public’s perceptions, I feel that the global warming problem will never be solved.

    Mothers in law: the truth. By Les Dawson, perhaps.

  23. Chris

    The 2 dominant studies in the paper, as in your usual 2 page editorials, were:

    Mothers-in-laws – why do we dislike them so. With a few Les Dawson Jokes

    Why are there no great engineers anymore? Where is the next Brunel?

    To answer the second question, there are great engineers about. The trade in building Steam Ships, and Iron Bridges has just slowed in recent centuries……..

    I think they are all messing about with computers, the internet, ipods, and crap like that………..time wasters

    “I saw this ruddy paper and seeing the main headline made my heart sink. With the likes of The Sexpress and other twonks in the press siding with the climate change denialists, thus altering the public’s perceptions, I feel that the global warming problem will never be solved”

    You should read “the audacity of hope”. Obama’s 2004 book which he wrote about politics, before he was even a Senator.

    Just basically about how corrupt and dangerous politics actually is these days.

    As in, most of George Bush’s Health Secretary in 2005, was an ex spokesman/lobbyist for the tobacco industry!?

    His climate secretary had to sell something like $15 million in Oil company shares, before he could take up his position in office.

    You know, it’s startling stuff from Obama. Really caught the public mood on growing cynicism in politics.

    Anyway, the problem with climate change is that the oil companies have the wealth.

    They fund conservative parties. Lobby parties. Fund research. Fund the media. All for the purpose of trying to stop restrictive laws coming into place.

    All of the Expresses coverage will be linked to Oil/Big Business links to the tory party I imagine.

    Sadly, coverage like this is probably being offered for a price.

  25. Cosmo

    Its a well established fact that any climate change with occurs outwith of the Home Counties is irrelevant.

  26. Fruitbat

    Also: mother in laws? SInce when have mother in law jokes been a source of material outside of the 1970s and Roy Chubby Brown? Ye gods, they really are living in a whole other century aren’t they?

  27. karlo

    er… since last week when Ashley moaned about Cheryl’s mum living with them .

  28. ms morbo

    karlo: oh good, for a moment there i thought that wasn’t front page worthy news.

  29. Fruitbat

    Karlo, you know full well that I’m talking about mother-in-law jokes and the done-to-death image of them being nagging old battleaxes (like in the picture they use). Don’t be arsey just for sake of it.
