British winter was the coldest for 31 years
Guardian UK ^ | 3/2/10 | Adam Gabbatt

Posted on 03/02/2010 2:03:03 PM PST by Nachum

Met Office figures recorded a December-to-February mean UK temperature of just 1.51C, while the 1971-2000 average is 3.7C

After suffering snow, sleet, rain and consistently freezing temperatures, the knowledge that the Met Office has officially recognised winter 2009-10 as the coldest in 31 years brings with it a certain grim satisfaction.

Provisional figures from the forecaster show the UK winter ‑ which in forecasting terms lasts from the start of December until the end of February ‑ has been the harshest, in temperature terms, since 1978-79.

And the BBC has been propagandizing that it was the warmest ever!

If that’s not definitive proof of Global Warming, I don’t know what is.

Better make that the red one. He'll have a hard time finding the white one in three feet of newly fallen global warming.

The every rising global temperatures cause by global warming seem to have a very chilling effect...

No. There are hundreds of threads covering the global warming hoax and fraud. Please read these and educate yourself since your are very new here. You may also do a search on viking kitties.

Algor explained recently that we can expect very cold weather, flooding caused by huge rain storms, drought from lack of rain, warm weather, cool weather, and scorching weather and earthquakes as the result of anthropogenic global warming.

Signing a piece of paper will stop all this.

Sort of like a shaman in a primitive tribe. If we don’t bring him chickens and goats the weather will be bad and the crops won’t grow.

Not possible. January was the warmest ever. We know it because the UN said so.

Right? Did I get it right boss? Gee, I just love Big Brother. Hope to work in the Ministry of Truth some day.

It doesn’t matter if it’s the coldest, warmest, wettest, driest, or most ordinary winter in history, the globull warming nuts will claim that it is evidence that they are right.

I’m just joking. I made that up on my own after hearing the Leftist, Eco-Loonies make the excuse that no matter how cold and snowy the weather gets it will always be warming. ‘Warming causes temperature extremes’ they say. We could be at the very start of the next ice age and they will absolutely insist that it is caused by AGW. It’s time for the next ice age to start and I hope that the way our weather has been it is a sign of that happening just to make the Left look like the idiots they truly are.

It's both. I don't have time to explain it, but trust me - a Nobel Prize winning former VP said so.

The coming northern winter, starting early and already apparent, might break that record late this year.
