exxile Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 In China's Xinjiang province temperatures have hit -40C. At least 1,300 livestock have died so far, and thousands of homes have been damaged by heavy snow. This is spreading through the provinces of Gansu, Qinghai, Shaanxi and Ningxia Hui Autonomous Regio, and due to reach Beijing (Peking for our older members). To the North, Siberia is of course colder still. Meanwhile, the USA is experiencing massive life endangering snowstorms, with half of all the USA currently covered in snow. In Oklahoma and Texas, the National Guard is having to assist civilian authorities. Oklahoma has already issued a declaration of emergency, and Texas is considering it today. South Dakota Governor Mike Rounds declared a state of emergency on Wednesday. "This is a life-threatening system and any travel from tonight through Saturday will be treacherous, if not nearly impossible in many areas," the National Weather Service (NWC) said. http://www.hstoday.us/content/view/11581/149/ Germany has seen temperatures of -30C in the last few days. http://www.spiegel.de/international/german...,668320,00.html All this just 3 weeks after we were told that this year would be the '5th warmest on record' as the Copenhagen scamfest conference began. Perhaps the Met Office, who predicted the 'barbecue summer' and a 'mild winter' hadn't spotted that the Northern hemisphere would freeze over. Has the Southern hemisphere made up for it? No. I quite like a white Christmas myself. Merry Christmas! I'd rather have a full bottle in front of me than a full frontal lobotomy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does this freezing of the Northen Hemisphere fit in with your global warming, Bob? All that Arctic ice has grown back, and the polar bears are thriving!

gingerjon Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 It can only be taught to people if there is snow on the ground. The AA has (or, at least had) a policy of cancelling any driving lesson if there was snow. Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day.

Saint Rich Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Just back from Derbyshire for the Christmas break. We stayed in a cottage on a non-gritted lane. The shovel was required a couple of times. Didn't half make me feel like a Tough Chap who'd earned his beer. The missus was impressed too, in between being amused at my enjoyment of showing what a Real Man I was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is the link again, start reading it and I will stop posting it http://royalsociety.org/Climate-change-controversies/ Happy New Year! Unfortunately, The Royal Society has now removed all the links to the 'misleading arguments'. Maybe even they don't believe it any more. Peru's mountain people face fight for survival in a bitter winter http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/jan/0...ers-winter-cold All down to climate change according to the Guardian. The USA continues to see cold and snow records broken evey day. Britain facing one of the coldest winters in 100 years, experts predict. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/topics/weather/...ts-predict.html Got any other great links? The Met Office, perhaps?

marklaspalmas Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 Well, I survived my ten day break in the UK. The weather wasn't too bad at all tbh apart fro the odd patch of freezing fog. The only casualty for me was the Rovers Boxing day fixture frozen off. Back in Las Palmas now, and I can't say Im missing the cold. https://www.fevarchive.co.uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exxile Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Looks like much of the rest of the world has just as much snow.

Meanwhile... 'BEIJING: Freak snowstorms and record low temperatures sweeping northern China are linked to global warming, say Chinese officials'. http://www.smh.com.au/environment/china-bl...00104-lq6t.html 'Tomorrow morning the mercury is forecast to plunge to minus 16, a 40-year low, after a day-time maximum of minus 8'. and... In India Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir were all hit with heavy snow, while Gujarat, Rajasthan, Punjab, Haryana and Delhi also recorded snowfall over the past 24 hours.

Now then, it's a race between Sandie....and Fairburn....and the little man is in........yeees he's in. I, just like those Castleford supporters felt that the ball should have gone to David Plange but he put the bit betwen his teeth...and it was a try Kevin Ward - best player I have ever seen The real Mick Gledhill is what you see on here, a Bradford fan ........, but deep down knows that Bradford are just not good enough to challenge the likes of Leeds & St Helens.
