Pink Snow in Russia

[DeFault User]

Well, I suppose it's better than yellow snow.

Icicles Ping!

Actually, the coldest winter in a while was about 350 years ago or 2500 years ago.

Apparently so from other articles out there. He freely admits that this past summer’s abnormally high temperatures in cannot be predicted by statistical models, he’s one of the few who openly admits this.

Statistical models are what the climate Nazi’s spew forth as “Hard and conclusive data for global warming.”. Which is absolute rubbish.

Nope, I truest the eastern European climatologists far more than the ones from the “Scientific” West on that topic these days.

I think the hazy, lazy days that we've had for the past few months are now at an end.

I'm pretty sure that's because of AGT -- anthropogenic global tilting. Many excellent computer models are available....

anthropogenic global tilting. Many excellent computer models are available....

As I recall the first significant sign is to be the Island of Guam capsizing. I trust you will keep us advised if that happens.

Prayers for the Russian people, especially the homeless.

Had a high of about 68 degrees today in S. Cal...Way too cold for me...

Can't wait till this cold snap is over.

Did you see this?

[steelyourfaith]

Thanx rdl6989 ! Surely this is due to Anthropogenic Global Warming.

 

Beam me to Planet Gore !

[Brucifer]

I'm looking at LaConte right now. Howdy neighbor.

[eyedigress]

Howdy! I just about got gob-smacked by Tornadoes. Keep yer ears and eyes on. :^)

[Centurion2000]

Um. Don’t vacation in Russia any winter.

Did it twice myself. -40 is something that actually has to be experienced to be believed. Holy crap that's COLD.

Red Square at -10 is one heck of a walk

“Although the forecast for the next month is only 70 percent accurate, I find the cold winter scenario quite likely,” Vadim Zavodchenkov, a leading specialist at the Fobos weather center, told RT.

Never mind that, Vadim. To me that statement is completely meaningless.

Was the previous month's forecast 70% accurate? How about the previous 6 months?

70%?

I suspect not.

Prime Time Russia?
C'Mon...

[Publius6961]

Like the 1600s cooling period and the 1800s cooling period, how can they know it will be colder than that?

They don't.

NOBODY has reliable, accurate worldwide weather records, going back farther than about 40 years. Even those (space-based) methods have had a few embarrasing "anomalies." Without actual world-wide (or even Soviet-wide) records, the statement is absurd.
