    Globe is nice and warm

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/7796044.stm

    Canada has been blanketed in snow from coast to coast after severe winter storms hit transport and left tens of thousands of homes without electricity.

    Strong winds and snowfall have hampered relief efforts, with meteorologists forecasting more bad weather to come.

    Coastal areas of Nova Scotia have been issued with storm warnings and Vancouver, Quebec and Ontario were also braced for more wintry weather.

    Analysts say Canada may have its first countrywide white Christmas since 1971.

    In the north-western territory of Yukon the temperature reportedly dropped as low as -45C (-49F).



    Hot hot hot!

    Must be all that CO2 trapping the heat like a greenhouse.

    That's why the puppetmasters have renamed "Global Warming" to "Climate Change".

    Question is, would you prefer to have someone jerking your strings, or get a good fisting like many sockpuppets on here?

      The Swiss would agree, the globe would appear to be nice and toasty.

        That'll be the Arctic melting.

        I worked in an ice cream factory many years ago as a student, and once or twice their walk-in freezers needed maintenance or defrosting. During those times it felt noticeably colder and damper just outside the freezer door than when the freezer was at its normal low temperature.

        The parallel should be obvious, but in case not I'll spell it out. Counterintuitively, I reckon a melting Arctic produces colder rainier (and, in winter, snowier) weather for a while. But if the present level of CO2 emissions continues, or rises, this cold spell won't last...

          I see some people still haven't worked out the difference between "climate" and "weather".

                You should ask Nasa

                  Weather is what they get wrong when trying to forecast 3 days ahead.

                  Climate is what they get wrong when trying to forecast a decade ahead.
