What happened to global warming then?

The local weather station beat the record today I believe for April. Records go as far back as 1882. The previous record was April 2000 which was also insanely wet. So the total rain a fairly rare event (for here at least).

I grew up in N wales. it never really stops raining

I looked at London for the 20 yrs from 1980 to 2000 only 5 years had an average rainfall for april below the average rainfall for april( if that makes any sense).

I could go back earlier and waste a friday evening but I always remember heavy prolonged showers for April. I know my mum used to tell me about the wet Aprils they had when she was a kid.

YMMV

The human effect on our climate is insignificant, the Earth processes have a greater effect on our climate volcanoes etc, along with millions of ruminates farting.
Locally it might seem we are effecting the earths climate but overall we are but just causing a itch.

Volcanoes release 200 million tonnes of CO2 per year into the atmosphere.

Human CO2 emissions are 29,000 million tonnes per year.

Perhaps you might want to reconsider your post? It's a very convenient fiction to pretend that anthropogenic emissions are insignificant, but that's all it is: a fiction. As an aside, the amount of CO2 removed from the atmosphere by geological processes (marine sedimentation and subduction) is 200 million tonnes per year, balancing the volcanic inputs.

I love the way that anecdote and prejudice trumps science.

I did read somewhere the drop in CO2 emissions due to grounded flights from the Icelandic volcano in 2010 was greater than the CO2 emissions from the volcano itself.
