From NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Met Office is now so desperate to promote climate alarm that they are prepared to lie about it.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was from the BBC news feed yesterday:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

When Alex Burkill was speaking, the highest gust was 79mph. There never was the slightest possibility of 90mph winds. Floris was officially Storm Force 9, a Strong Gale, with sustained winds at Wick of 53 mph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, The Needles weather station had not been opened in August 1979, when the catastrophic Fastnet storm killed 21 yachtsmen and rescuers. The Fastnet Inquiry<\/a> found that the storm had likely reached Storm Force 11, a violent storm and second only to a hurricane in strength, with sustained winds of 70 to 75 mph. This has since been confirmed by reanalysis<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interestingly the Inquiry noted that August storms in 1957 and 1970 had been even stronger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How any responsible Met Office meteorologist can waffle on about supposed records, when people tragically died in a far more powerful storm years ago shows just how far into the gutter the Met Office has descended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please take time and watch this short film, and spare a thought for those who died and those who put their lives at risk to save them:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
