Global warming = hotter drier summers ... Well that was last Summer's story

I know I blogged about this before but with the news today that "Britain is facing a flooding timebomb this autumn and winter, with huge amounts of underground water stored up by incessant summer rain ready to burst out as floods the next time heavy rains return." and "The Environment Agency is giving warning of “an enhanced flood risk” for England and Wales, although where and when any flooding strikes will depend on the weather patterns. Forecasters are predicting a wet autumn across much of Britain." I thought a reminder was in order...

Remember the Guardian 22 July 2006 - "scientists know a lot about how events will unfold...which means that whatever we do, our climate destiny is fixed for the next few decades...Rainfall will decline in the summer and the increased deluges in winter will struggle to replenish thirsty reservoirs because much of the water will run off the baked ground."

The Guardian were so certain last summer, I haven't noticed an apology this summer, have you?
