WASHINGTON (AP) Feeling chilly? Here's cold comfort: You could be in East Antarctica which new data says set a record for "soul-crushing" cold.
Try 135.8 degrees Fahrenheit below zero; that's 93.2 degrees below zero Celsius, which sounds only slightly toastier. Better yet, don't try it. That's so cold scientists say it hurts to breathe.

Send Al Gore there to preach on global warming! Maybe the hot air coming from his mouth will warm things up a bit. Or shut him up.

Isn’t Prince Harry, the son of environmental wacko Prince Charles, up there right now for some sort of husky race?

Just because one spot on Earth has set records for cold that has little to do with global warming because it is one spot in one place, said Waleed Abdalati, an ice scientist at the University of Colorado and NASA's former chief scientist.whatever

I think you need to look up the difference between “The Arctic”, and “The Antarctic”

Well if he’s doing it in Antarctica he’s hibernating like Han Solo in The Empire Strikes Back.

My in-laws are in Antarctica right now. They felt a need to visit all of the continents and this was their last one. They've enjoyed African safaris, the Great Wall of China, an extended stay in Australia, Easter island, hiking in the Andes, and just about every European country. Also Myanmar (Burma) which they thought was especially great since the dictatorship has kept the country at the level of a third world country from the 1940s or 50s. "It was great to see how things used to be!!!".
They also feel a need to spend all their money and leave nothing to their children (they're Libs and they don't want to give their children or grandchildren an unfair advantage). I figure that's their business -- they earned the money. Well, most of it, they also inherited a fair chunk of it.

This is definitely NOT your mother’s “Global Warming”. That big decision to move to “Climate Change” is looker better and better every day.
To: Utilizer
No Han was frozen by Darth Vader in order to test it first. It was meant for Luke but he escaped it.

All time record cold?????? Isn’t it about 12 days before that half of the world’s summer solstice? This doesn’t make sense.

Makes perfect sense. It’s not global warming. We are heading into an ice age. Sorry Al.

Just because one spot on Earth has set records for cold that has little to do with global warming because it is one spot in one place, said Waleed Abdalati, an ice scientist at the University of Colorado and NASA's former chief scientist. Both Abdalati, who wasn't part of the measurement team, and Scambos said this is likely an unusual random reading in a place that hasn't been measured much before and could have been colder or hotter in the past and we wouldn't know.LOL!
These folks make all the excuses in the world when the subject is record cold.

I really do recognize that it’s their money, not my wife’s, so I don’t bat an eye. But you would not believe how often they bring it up. It amuses them to tell us that we’ll never get a dime. And, no, we have a fine relationship, live close by, see each other often, and have never had any unpleasantness of any kind. It’s a happy family situation. Just a little odd when it comes to money. But that’s just the way it goes!
