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.

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.

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 here’s 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 today’s 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

The snow and cold in Britain brings to mind that wonderful fantasy novel by John Masefield, The Box of Delights. Find it and read it if you can.

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.

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.

Yep. I was in high school when "global cooling" was the rage. The floods would be from melting snow, the starvation would be from shortened growing seasons.

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.

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 Gore’s Carbon Trading scheme does NOTHING to REDUCE CO2”

my point exactly, force him to admit in court that he is running a SCAM
