I live on the Isle of Man in th UK and i have seen climate change here.
Our highest mountain Snaefell hardly sees any snow and on the low ground, snow is now pretty non existent.

Nesting birds such as Blackbirds and Song thrushes have declined dramatically and plants are coming out at strange times of the Year.

In 2007 the common dandelion was spotted in many places during the months of November to January.

I think a proper in depth analysis should be carried out.

1. Has the Temperature at the core of the North pole changed from when measurements were first taken in the dead of winter. Say it used to be minus 40C at the core and it has increased to say minus 20C then it is a global problem.
If there is no change, but the ice is melting more rapidly around the outer edge of the artic circle, then has there been a change in the sea temperatures as warm waters could be the cause.
If it is warmer waters, then what is causing this?

2. Take the Isle of Man as a study ground. We are surrounded by the Irish sea, hasthese waters been warming over the last 2 or 3 decades, could warmer waters be a reason why there is no more snow on our lower ground and virtually no snow on our Mountain.?

3. Stornoway in Scotland appears to have had higher temperatures that the rest of the UK during the months from November to January.
Is this normal for stornoway. How do their temperature records compare to that of the past They to are close to the sea. If there is evidence that stornoway has become warmer over the last 2 to 3 decades, then again this maybe due to warming seas.

4. It s important to note that a climate change study should not be conducted during the Summer months, it has to be conducted during the months from November through to march as these are the coldest periods. Example: you cannot say there is evidence of climate change based on a few hotter than average days in August.

5. Is there evidence that the Low pressure systems coming into the UK are larger in area than compared to the past. If this is so, could it be caused by the destruction of the rain forests 10 degrees North and South of the equator. Meaning if you take away the rain forrests, you have domes of moist air heading towards the cooler UK, similar to if you boil a kettle the steam will settle on a cooler window in your kitchen. Some of these low pressures appear to be several thousand miles wide and about 1500 to 2000 miles long coming into the UK.

6. It appears that it is becoming increasingly difficult for snow fall to settle on the lower ground within the UK and if it does, it is not lasting very long. Could this be due to warming seas? Pollution from large engined cars which are more frequent now, or increasingly warm air from these large low pressures which maybe due to the destruction of the rain forrests?

7. It has been suggested that NASA measure the sea temperatures and that their has been no evidence of sea temperature change or very minimal. Where were they taking their readings from and could these readings be falseso as not to scare the public?

8. Persistant frosts do not persist on the Isle of man as they used to. Even when there is a low angle sun, the frosts seem to disappear more rapidly? Could this be due to warming seas or evidence that the air is warmer from the distant Atlantic?

9. Is there any Data available for past temperature readings for the Irish Sea itself? If so how does this data compare to recent years.? If there is evidence that the Temperature readings have increased, what could account for this?
Here on the Isle of Man our Traffic has increased to very high levels and more and more people are driving vehicles within in the range Average 2.4L to extreme 7.2L where as before there was much less vehicles and these had engine capacities typical of 1L to 1.6L.
Could this be contributing to local climate change?

10. We recently had a colder spell from late December to Early January, and even though there were frosts, they struggled to get down to minus 2C, where as in the past they would have easily reached minus 5C. During this spell percipitation came into the Isle of Man twice and fell as rain. In the past this would have fallen as snow at least on the leading edge. This is clearly wrong.

11. A TV program called the way we were screened on ITV showed clear evidence that a Scottish Loch had frozen over every year since 1931, and that the last time this Loch froze was 1979. This in itself is cause for investigation. Had it missed a couple of years this would not have mattered, but in this case it has been 30 years since it last froze.

12. It was said that in the 1800s the River Thames in London froze regularly, in that they used to hold frost fares by setting up market stalls etc on the river thames. When was the last time this froze? Could this change be due to warming waters coming into the Thames or a combination of this plus car pollution.
Weather forcasters regularly mention that there is a significant temperature difference in cities compared with rural areas. Is this car pollution or buildings retaining heat?

13. In February 2003 we had a brief cold day where a NE wind was blowing and the temperature was at minus 1C in land.
On our west coast i stood nby the sea and noticed that when the wind reflected of the water it was incredibly warm, should this be the case given the fact it was minus 1C and in February? This cold weather didn’t last long.

14. Our Airport at ronaldsway records the Isle of Man temperatures, does their Data indicate less and less frosts over the last 2 to 3 decades.

15. We used to hear regular News bulletins on our local Radio station advising people not to go on the Mountain Road or to proceed with extreme caution throughout the months from November to March we never hear this now! Could this again indicate climate change due to lack of snow in these months?
This could easily be checked by how many times the mountain was blocked since records began for each of these months coming up to date!

16. Although occasional, i have noticed from radar reports on weather forecasts that in the winter months, rain appears to have developed within our own waters. If this is true, then this could indicate a change in temperatures within our own waters (The Irish Sea)

17.Some of the coldest places on earth include, Siberia, Northern Canada, Alaska, Yellow Knife etc. Have any of these areas seen any change in their winter temperatures. If there has been a significant change, then it may be global problem. If their Data has remained unchanged during the winters, then places like the UK may have changed due to warmin waters?
