THE sunshine that bathed Bolton over the weekend is set to continue.

Families headed to parks and beauty spots as temperatures reached double figures and Britain enjoyed its warmest day of the year so far on Saturday.

The blue skies continued yesterday and forecasters say there should be more sunshine until Thursday, when it will become overcast.

The clear skies will be accompanied by temperatures of nine or 10C, although they could bring with them cold nights with lows of -3C predicted tomorrow.

Forecaster Brendan Jones, of Press Association weather division MeteoGroup, described the temperatures as "very unusual", with southern parts of the country hitting 17C on Saturday.

He said: "We are enjoying some high pressure at the moment which is bringing with it some very settled weather.

"But it is very unusual for it to be quite this warm. Usually, if it is so clear and sunny at this time of year, it will be chilly."

He said it should stay dry until the weekend.

Global environment collapse. ______________ John Berbatis, Australia (2007-03-26 15:15:01) Many citizens of earth do not realize the seriousness of the parlous state of the global environment, but will just prior to their obliteration by 'a raging mother nature'. Judging by the current extremes of global weather conditions and the recent increase in worldwide seismic activity, I believe humanity will face extinction before the end of 2008. In the past ten years there has been an exponential melting of the ice sheets and a noticeable disintegration of the ice shelves, owing to 'global warming'. The loss of mass from the underlying Tectonics Plates causes them to ascend (iso-static rebound), and this results in an increase in the intensification and frequency of global seismological activity. The seismic data of the past ten years confirm this conjecture. Furthermore, the ice shelves impede the flow of glaciers and ice sheets into to the oceans; and when the 'polar regions' are subjected to unprecedented seismic upheavals, these events will then cause the ice sheets and glaciers to be dislodged en masse into the oceans. This occurrence will then instantly destabilize the earth's surface weight distribution (isostasy), and so precipitate a 'crust displacement' (Mag. 12). i.e., axis change! The previous subterranean extraction of fossil fuels will greatly exacerbate this impending Apocalypse. Currently, the excessive amount of carbon and methane gasses in the atmosphere is causing catastrophic weather conditions, globally - and this situation will rapidly deteriorate... 'a climate runaway!' The global environmental and geo-political situations are now coalescing into a 'critical mass'; so I believe humanity can expect a catastrophe of worldwide proportions within this year! In 1998, I submitted my dissertation on the above matter to various eminent institutions and individuals, to which I received positive responses from PM's Tony Blair, Helen Clark (NZ) & Lee Kwain Yew (Singapore) as well as the UN's - Dr Mary Robinson, Hon. Justice Michael Kirby AC CMG of the High Court of Australia, Premier P. Beattie (Queensland, Au) and Chief Justices of Canada, Norway, Taiwan, Mexico and Netherlands etc,. Reality rules this universe! ... not unproductive discussion & debate? John Berbatis 4/21 Cornelian St Scarborough 6019 Perth Australia Tel: +61 0422621382 April 19th, 2007 --------------------
