> the UK has been getting warmer for about a century and a half
Are you not contradicting yourself?
Not sure who thinks it snows in Scotland all the time either? Certainly known more for its rain I'd say. I would agree Scotland has a tendency for unusual micro-climates. I do think the measurement of frequency of snowless days in Scotland is a reasonable bellwether for climate change indicators given the details provided.
To give another observation of possible indicators of climate change effects in Scotland I have lived in a coastal town in Scotland for a little over a decade and there are strong indicators of increasing coastal erosion which I would attribute to the rising sea-levels brought about by climate change.
Are you trying to make an argument that climate change isn't real or just not happy with the reporting of this event? It's not clear to me what your actual point is.
Not if you are familiar with the climate history of the UK. The reason why warming started a century and a half ago is not the reason it is warming now.
> Not sure who thinks it snows in Scotland all the time either?
The guy who I replied to who said it was unusual that it wasn't snowing in Scotland. I don't know what to tell you.
I will offer an alternative statistic for climate change: temperature change. I think it will catch on, but you can continue with your thing.
> It's not clear to me what your actual point is.
Because you had in your head when you replied to my comment that I must be a climate-change denier. So you are now very confused when you wrote your comment, and then looked at what I said and then realised that at no point did I mention anything about climate change. You may know this is something that happens to people now: you talk about something related to a cause de jour, and the person will think everything you are saying is connected to cause de jour.

Still can't see anyone replying to you with that
> Because you had in your head when you replied to my comment that I must be a climate-change denier....
I had it in my head it wasn't clear what point you are actually making about the original article as much of what you state is, at best, personal experience and little else. Not that that can't add to a discussion to some degree However, I'm still none the wiser but will leave it at that as don't believe this is worth pursuing and will just become (more) circular.
