Duh, the Global Cooling that was predicted in the 1970’s has FINALLY reached China.

BTW, has the CO2 level in China gone up or down in the last 40 years?

Unusually cold temperatures = weather
Unusually warm temperatures = climate

Joking aside, if you anticipate an upcoming need for merchandise of any kind (from underwear to appliances, computers, cameras and television sets, etc, etc, no really: ETC!) be aware that supply chains will experience interruption, shortage will occur, affecting price points, so better hurry tomorrow to the stores (if shopping on Sundays isn’t considered sinful and forbidden by your particular religious sect) and replenish PDQ!
