In a new blow to the climate change lobby, Russia's top weatherman today announced that the winter now drawing to a close in Siberia may turn out to be the coldest on record.
'The winter of 2009-10 was one of the most severe in European part of Russia for more than 30 years, and in Siberia it was perhaps the record breaking coldest ever,' said Dr Alexander Frolov, head of state meteorological service Rosgidromet.
Statistics are still being analysed in detail, but it is known that in western Siberia the mean temperature was minus 23.2C, with more colder days than in previous years.

Some 63 days were colder than minus 25C and 39 days below minus 30C.
For this part of Siberia, this represents the coldest conditions in 40 years and the second harshest winter in 110 years.
Equivalent statistics for colder eastern Siberia have not been issued yet.
The coldest recorded temperature in the recent winter is believed to have been minus 57.4C degrees in Oymyakon on 20 January.
The remote town in eastern Siberia is the coldest inhabited community in the world.
'When we say that this winter in Siberia was record breaking, we are aware that temperatures on some days of other years may have gone lower, but in the most recent winter the substantial cold was staying longer than usual and over larger regions than usual,' said Dmitry Kiktev, deputy head of Rosgidromet.

More bad news for Al Gore....and friends.
And the cause....Drum Roll....
Easiest job in the world, Russian Weatherman.
“Tomorrow’s forecast is COLD!!!”
Mr Tishkov, deputy head of the Geography Institute at Russian Academy of Science, said: 'What we have been watching recently is comparatively fast changes of climate to warming, but within the framework of an overall long-term period of cooling. This is a proven scientific fact.
'The recent warming - and we are talking tenths of a degree at most - is caused by human activity, like forest elimination, the changing of landscapes.
'The greenhouse gases so much discussed now do not in fact play big role. We have to remember that all the impact of industrial enterprises in Russia cannot be compared with one volcano eruption on our planet.'

Wonder if this scientist could testify before Congress......
Of course the folks at the IPCC, Hadley CRU, NASA and Penn State will all deny this, since the cherry-picked urban and discontinuously reporting Russian weather stations they include in the “models” will need to have their data “homogenized” for inclusion the “value-added” data set.
“Wonder if this scientist could testify before Congress”
They have no interest.
Gorebal warming has nothing to do with CO2 or warming.
It has everything to do with command and control of society.
But, but, but...Jim Hansen and his GISS muppets said this was the warmest winter EVER...he even has graphics with big red blotches over siberia and the arctic in general to prove it.
Dial “M” for mangled – Wikipedia and Environment Canada caught with temperature data errors.
If I recall correctly, the warmists have all along tried to hide or ignore data from Siberia.
Siberia, I would imagine, is lacking in the “hot spots” that global warming scientists like to put climate stations next to.
LOL...

Buttercup? Princess Bride. Cold of unusual size?
Mammoth-in-Ice
I don’t think that they exist.
Having said that, what is the going price for a mammoth fur coat? My wife wants one.
No doubt-—the mammoth’s were a huge source of methane. Classified by the EPA as ten times more of a contributor to GW than CO2.
