Andrew

Will someone please answer the question, has there been any warming of the Earth, (the one we live on) over the past 15 years?

If no, please explain.

If yes, please explain.

Why is this asking too much, surely it either has warmed or it hasn't, what is the problem getting a definitive answer?

Has the Jet Stream moved back to its normal position?

Here in UK we have been told that the reason for colder winters and wet cold summers recently was the Jet Stream moving to the south of The British Isles, hence blocking any high pressure systems which would bring us settled warm and dry weather.

Now, according to this website I found at random (hope it's a good one) the jet stream has moved north and we should have fine summer weather.

http://uk.weather.com/story/news/july-outlook-2013...

We were told the jet stream had moved south due to a massive melt of Arctic ice. Given that in one month the ice is unlikely to have grown back, in fact presumably melted even further, why has the jet stream moved?

Or was the arctic melting ice theory not correct?

Confused to say the least, please explain why less ice makes the jet stream move south, even lesser ice makes the jet stream move north again.

I have been diagnosed with Atrial Fibrillation, what questions should I ask my cardiologist?

I was diagnosed with Atrial Fibrillation in the Emergency Room (A & E) when I went there with shortage of breath. I was given an electrocardiogram.

Subsequently I attended my GP and he gave me another electrocardiogram which confirmed the hospital's diagnosis.

I now have an appointment to see a Cardiologist to undergo an "Echo test", which I assume is an " Echo-cardiogram". This will be the first specialist I shall have seen.

I am taking Warfarin and "Adizem".

What questions should I be asking the Cardiologist?

My list so far is:

What is wrong with me?

Will the condition get better by itself?

Will I always have to take Warfarin?

Will I always have to take Adizem?

Will I be able to drop either drug ever?

Will I be a candidate for Electrical cardioversion?

Is it (Electrical cardioversion) worth it?

How will this condition affect my future life as regards flying, vacations abroad etc.?

Will there come a time when I won't be allowed to drive?

Please note, I'm not asking you to answer the questions, just please suggest some that you may think helpful.

Thank you.

Rubberised paint, can I use it to repair small leak in guttering?

I have plastic guttering.

At a joint between two lengths there is a slow drip when it's raining.

Can I clean and dry the affected joint area and simply paint rubberised paint over the joint to make a watertight seal?

Thank you.

What flag has been seen by more people than any other flag in the history of the world?

I have Atrial Fibrillation and am considering whether or not to have cardioversion.

(electrical cardioversion)

I am presently taking Warfarin and Adizem ( Diltiazem I think).

If I have the electrical cardioversion will I have to continue with these drugs? Warfarin or Adizem or both?

If I have to continue with either one or both, is there any point in me having the electrical cardioversion?

is there any way I can ever be drug free from either or both of these drugs?

a lot of questions I know, thanks for your patience.

Moon, what's the name of our moon?

Where does all the heat produced simply by the action of burning fossil fuels go?

Burn anything, heat is produced, where does it all end up?

Why is this never mentioned when discussing Global Warming?

UK is considering taking wind generated electricity from Ireland. How much per kilowatt hour will it cost?

How much will it cost as compared to wind generated electricity from wind farms in the UK?

Or as compared to fossil fuelled power station generated electricity?

Ductless Heat Pumps, where can I find a simple explanation please?

British and Irish Lions tour to Australia, how can I watch it for nothing in USA? Or UK?

South Georgia, the sub-Antarctic island, does it have any paved roads?

If so, who built them and why?

Street map, where can I get a free one to print please?

What ship survived enemy action in the US Navy, only to be sunk in a different war in a unique fashion?

No other ship had or has been sunk this way.

Can an excess of alcohol give symptoms akin to Atrial fibrillation?

Had a real skinfull on a Saturday night, then carried on during the next day, Sunday, tailed off on Monday.

Tuesday had no alcohol at all, felt ill (breathless) so went to A & E. Had an Electrocardiogram which led the Doctor to say I had Atrial fibrillation.

Had another 8 days later which conformed it.

Could this be the alcohol wearing off?

Not had a drink now for 3 weeks, should I ask for another electrocardiogram or would it show the same results? All this done on NHS, however I have private health insurance, is it worth a second opinion?

Never have had history of blood pressure or heart problems before. Have been put on Warfarin and Adizem. INR 2.2 after 3 days on Warfarin

Adizem-SR (diltiazem) Started taking this for Atrial Atrial_fibrillation. How long will I have to take them?

As above.

Is this medication for the rest of my life?

Or is it just until my Atrial fibrillation is under control?

Does Atrial fibrillation ever get "cured", so I don't have to take this or any other medication? (I am also on Warfarin)

Thank you.

How much as a percentage does the UK pay for The Eurovision Song Contest?

UK is classed as "One of the big four" who basically underwrite the Eurovision Song Contest.

How much percentage wise of the total cost does the UK pay?

How much in actual money?

If UK withdrew, could The Eurovision Song Contest carry on?

Why do we pay more than other countries?

Thanks for reading.

Something is eating my runner bean leaves, any idea please?

Only took them out of my shed and planted them yesterday, overnight/day something has eaten some of my leaf growth, almost half in some plants.

Any ideas please?

Also have leaf curl on some, what causes this?

Antarctic precipitation, is this compensating for melting ice elsewhere?

Read that due to extreme snow precipitation in Antarctica, global sea level rise is being mitigated, if not halted.

Any truth in this, or nonsense?

Links if possible please.

UK only: I may have to start takng Warfarin, to treat Atrial Fibrillation . If so do I have to inform DVLA and my insurance company?
