When Britain woke up on the first day of the New Year it was met with freezing cold temperatures, feet of snow in places and the promise of travel chaos.
And now, three days into 2010, forecasters have warned to expect continued snowfall for the next 10 days - bringing with it added stress for commuters heading back to work after a festive break and children returning to school tomorrow.
Yet as Britain struggles to cope with the freezing weather conditions, other countries throughout the world are also finding themselves in the same predicament.

How inconvenient...
Plenty of great pic’s on the site...
But...WHERE is Algore????
I’m sure this was predicted in the climate change models.
Manbearpig causes and avalanche of snow that Al Gore said melted in the 1980s. Film at 11:00.
but is it ‘truth’?
an inconvenient truth for Mr. Gore perhaps?
A high-priority government report warns of climate change that will lead to floods and starvation. Leading climatologists speak of a detrimental global climatic change, threatening the stability of most nations. The scenario is eerily familiar although the document never made public before dates from 1974. But heres the difference: it was written to respond to the threat of global cooling, not warming. And yes, it even mentions a consensus among scientists.
A Study of Climatological Research as it Pertains to Intelligence Problems, written by the CIA for internal planning purposes in August 1974, goes a little way towards explaining why some people over a certain age experience a sense of déjà-vu when climate change is mentioned; in the mid-1970s there really was a lot of scientific discussion about global cooling. With the benefit of hindsight, reading it makes one feel wry and embarrassed. So many of the terms bandied about 35 years ago are still being employed by todays fear-mongers, about the very opposite phenomenon.
It’s being said that the zealots will drop “Climate Change” and climb onto the “Ocean Acidification” bandwagon next...
And, yes...They’ll need even MORE money then...
So much for the claims of AGW proponents that recent cooling in the Northern Hemisphere was limited to North America.
It’s nicely warm here in LA, quite pleasant in fact.
Maybe it’s time for a Class Action Lawsuit against AlGore, when we consider the facts, Al Gore has stated that CO2 is warming the planet, he has been selling Carbon Credits and Other Bogus Investments for a long time to counteract CO2 emissions. He publicly claims that his CO2 Reduction schemes are working. This action has directly led to the COLDEST WINTER in 100 years in most of the world. Can it not be said that Al Gore and his cohorts in the Climate Change business has directly caused this?? Wouldn’t it be fun to see AlGore on the stand proclaiming that his plan has not done anything to affect Climate Change and it was all a scam to make money.
damned if does, damned if he doesn’t
It is set in a VERY snowy winter in Britain. The snow is practically a character in the book.
It's also an extremely good story. It was made into a BBC TV series (with the inimitable Spike Milligan in a cameo), and rumors are that a feature length film is coming out.
Thank you...I’ll try to find it...
These are found on Drudge:
Temps Plunge to Record as Cold Snap Freezes North, East States...
CHILL MAP...
Vermont sets ‘all-time record for one snowstorm’...
Iowa temps ‘a solid 30 degrees below normal’...
Peru’s mountain people ‘face extinction because of cold conditions’...
Beijing — coldest in 40 years...
World copes with Arctic weather...
That's the warming effect all the money flying off government shelves in California. When they run out of your money to give to other people, it will get cold there too. And it's coming pretty soon by all accounts.
The solution then, as now, was to turn over economic control to the self-appointed guardians of the climate.
I wish they would bring back the same shtick. Then maybe God would make the earth warm up again. We could use a little global warming right now.
I love all the pictures, the weather is one of those things about which people have little control. Any efforts by man are but a gnat’s sneeze compared to the planet’s ability to surprise us.
Al Gore has stated that CO2 is warming the planet, he has been selling Carbon Credits and Other Bogus Investments for a long time to counteract CO2 emissions.
Let’s get this straight, Al Gore’s Carbon Trading scheme does NOTHING to REDUCE CO2 levels. If your company creates more than he wants it to you are more then welcome to purchase some credits to offset your actual emissions. Sounds like what the mafia did to shop owners for protection.....
Yes — that’s already happening. The oceans are removing much more CO2 from the atmosphere than predicted. That would appear to be a good thing — which simply won’t do. Therefore, it’s now necessary to wring hands about acidification — even though there’s scant evidence it’s happening & even less evidence that it’s actually harmful.
“Al Gores Carbon Trading scheme does NOTHING to REDUCE CO2”
my point exactly, force him to admit in court that he is running a SCAM
