THE RIVER THAMES in London froze over for the first time in 60 years as temperatures plummeted overnight. By STEVEN BROWN

BBC Weather: UK set for freezing temperatures and snow

For the first time since 1963, parts of the River Thames were frozen over as witnesses spotted seagulls perching on the icy surface in Teddington. The River Great Ouse in Cambridgeshire was also frozen over leaving boats stuck.

It comes as temperatures dropped to below 0C in parts of England.

In Ravensworth, North Yorkshire, temperatures plummeted to -15.3C last night as the UK braced for up to four inches of snow and 50mph gales today. ----- The freezing weather comes as 15 weather stations in Britain recorded their lowest temperature ever for February overnight on Wednesday.

[Watts Up With That is the best site on the net for exposing the global warming hoax. With the coming "Reset," it's good to have ammunition against the hoaxers.]

The River Thames starts freezing over and the alarmists get another black eye. Too funny! That Gore-bull warming still ain't happening.

Go to the site for tons of great pieces by world renowned experts. Anthony Watts put it together and is a legend.

The latest Maunder Minimum will really put a damper on the global warming crew. We will have a high of 9F tomorrow in Tulsa.

They used to have Frost Fairs on the frozen Thames. Big gatherings and celebrations. The last one was in 1814, during the Little Ice Age. At that time, the river had not been dredged. It was shallow and slow moving and susceptible to freezing. It’s a different river today. But to have the river actually freeze in the 21st century really shows that Global Warming is a joke.

Expand on that. Trump exceeded the Paris climate accord and officially ended global warming. Trump saved the earth. How about another Nobel prize nomination?

Growing up in Buffalo, we used to have car races on Lake Erie when it froze. Really dangerous now that I think about it.

Whatever happens, it’s man-made global warming caused by capitalism and non-government greed.

No. Still Trump’s fault. Still Global warming. Say it over and over and over, until people say, “OK”!

We should dispatch John Skerry, Algore and a few dozen lib elites with their jets to go fly a holding pattern around the Tower of London for a few days.

Ya think that will help warm things up???

No, I didn’t think so either.
But what do I know. I’m just a nuclear physicist, not a brilliant libtard elite

“Whatever happens, it’s man-made global warming caused by capitalism and non-government greed.

Yep. The need a bottomless source of taxpayer money.

“I know, let’s tax the air, comrade!”

“But how will you do that?”

“Easy, comrade. We’ll say CO2 is causing global warming, and tax energy emissions.”

“But comrade, the people will never allow that! What happens then?”

“Think, comrade, think. We’ll call it “carbon,” to make plant food seem dirty, and pay people money to fudge the numbers and predict the end of the world.”

“Good plan, comrade! We can only control the masses when they are full of fear. And, we’ll make a gazillion dollars, too!”
