Europe cold weather death toll rises
BBC ^ | 01/09/2017

Posted on 01/10/2017 6:39:41 AM PST by BenLurkin

More than 20 people are now known to have died as icy temperatures continue to grip much of Europe.

Ten people died of cold in Poland on Sunday. The bodies of three migrants, two Iraqi and one Somali, were found near the Turkish-Bulgarian border.

Deaths have been reported in Italy, the Czech Republic, Russia and Ukraine.

Dozens of flights have been halted. In Turkey, the Bosphorus is closed to shipping after a snowstorm. Even Greece's islands are covered in snow.

In Serbia, all river transport is suspended on the Danube.

...

In Russia, temperatures in some regions have plunged below -40C.

Normally milder Greece has witnessed temperatures of -15C in the north, where an Afghan migrant died of cold last week and roads were closed.

In Athens, the temperature failed to rise above 0C over the weekend and many of the islands were covered in snow.

The next ice age (they occur every 12-20 thousand years) will kill 1000 times more humans than next global warming (which always follow ice ages without fail).

Yesterday we had our first day above 32 F in over two weeks - the last week had many days when the high was below zero, this in in Montana.

Somehow we make it just fine...Of course no one ever accused us Montanan’s of being Euro-weenies!

If people were dying of extreme heat, all we would hear from the left is “Global Warming” or “Climate Change!!”.

People die from extreme cold and it’s “Weather is not climate. This is expected. As the world warms there will be periods of extreme cold. But that’s just weather, not climate.”

Or some such nonsense.

Obvious FAKE NEWS by the BBC here.

We all know according to the two most reputable and learned Climate Guru’s, Algore and Leonardo DiCaprio that ICE,SNOW,Extreme COld Weather just is NOT POSSIBLE due to Global Warming caused by Humans.

It must be FAKE NEWS, nothing to see here.

Easy solution - send the polar bear to Europe and the Europeans to the Artic.

Let me the first to go on record that the coming ice age will kill 50-100 million Americans. Good news is it may not show up for a few thousand years.

If liberals have any brains, they should encourage burning of much more fossil fuels to delay the onslaught of next ice age.

Ice age kills 1000 times more mammals than the global warming which follows. Which is why there are so many extinct species from ancient times.
