Shed any light on future weather patterns

AI Thread Summary
Future weather patterns for the UK are currently being discussed, particularly in light of reports predicting a potentially cold winter. A local paper suggested this winter could be the coldest since records began, raising concerns about the impact of climate change, such as ice cap melting. However, this interpretation stems from a misrepresentation of a long-range forecast by Metcheck, which anticipates a winter similar to last year, with a possibility of being slightly colder and snowier. The phrase "coldest this century" used by Metcheck refers to temperatures lower than those of the past four years, but media coverage exaggerated this to suggest it would be the coldest in a century, leading to confusion and alarm.

No, don't worry - this is simply due to the media misinterpreting a long range forecast issued by a company called Metcheck last month. Metcheck are predicting a winter similar to last year, but with a chance it could be a little colder and a little snowier. In their press release they mentioned it could be the 'coldest this century'. Which simply means colder than the last 4 years! But newsapers reported this as coldest for a century which in turn became coldest ever...

Thread 'Could an external cosmic body have influenced Earth’s geology?'

Hello, I’m currently writing a series of essays on Pangaea, continental drift, and Earth’s geological cycles. While working on my research, I’ve come across some inconsistencies in the existing theories — for example, why the main pressure seems to have been concentrated in the northern polar regions. So I’m curious: is there any data or evidence suggesting that an external cosmic body (an asteroid, comet, or another massive object) could have influenced Earth’s geology in the distant...
