Even Sharks Are Freezing to Death. Winter Rages and the Nation Reels.

Shivering, snowbound cities are scrapping their outdoor New Year’s Eve countdowns. Polar-bear plunges are being canceled because of fears of frostbite and hypothermia. Winter-hardened towns are gaping at their new lows: 32 degrees below zero in Watertown, N.Y. Minus 36 in International Falls, Minn. Record-breaking snowfalls have stranded older and disabled residents inside their homes for days. Cars are buried under mountains of snow, and lethally low temperatures are forcing cities across the Northeast and Midwest to open emergency “warming centers” for homeless residents and people whose furnaces are no match for the cold.

Along the New England coast, the cold appeared to be at least partially the culprit in the deaths of three thresher sharks found washed up on the shores of Wellfleet and Orleans on Cape Cod over the past several days, according to scientists.

Sharks forget to join the snowbirds in FL.

Thank the Lord for “Global Warming”...Just think what it would be without it!!!!!!

Any news on the extinct polar bears?

[rlmorel]

LOL, I am sure there are some down in Florida who wish the sharks would join up with the Snowbirds!

[Tax-chick]

Imagine all the money spent on studying, preventing, or reversing “global warming” had gone toward practical measures to help people (and even animals) deal with whatever weather turns up.

Headline: Gulf Stream freezes, sharks hardest hit.
More proof of Global warming say activists.

“Polar-bear plunges are being canceled because of fears of frostbite and hypothermia. “

Wussies. The Polar Bear club of my time would be watching the thermometer and getting more excited as the temperature dropped.

Coldest I was ever in was -18 F in Rochester, NY - plenty cold enough for me ... springs on my Plymouth Duster sounded like they were cracking when I got in ....

As cold wave sweeps US, Trump derides climate change science

Washington (AFP) - President Donald Trump chimed in on the weather Thursday, citing the cold wave sweeping across much of the central and northeastern United States as justification for his controversial move to leave the global climate change pact.

“In the East, it could be the COLDEST New Year’s Eve on record,” Trump tweeted from his Mar a Lago resort in Florida, where he is on holiday vacation.

“Perhaps we could use a little bit of that good old Global Warming that our Country, but not other countries, was going to pay TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS to protect against. Bundle up!”

Wow. Sharks never used to freeze to death before global warming...

[WayneS]

They’re a lot less extinct than the used to be.

[b4its2late]

LOL. Awesome. The sun is actually going to sleep. It’s going to be at its’ minimum for the next 11 years.

Any news on the extinct polar bears?

At last glance they were still extinct.

But don't quote me on that, I could be wrong.

I once spent two weeks in the foothills of the Ural mountains in December. Night-time lows were at or below -40, and the "day-time" (all 4-1/2 hours of it) high temperature never got above zero degrees Fahrenheit the entire time I was there.

To this day I do not understand why humans would settle in an area with such a harsh climate.

Are you sure it lasts 11 years, or does it start to come back on an 11 year cycle. Because I really miss the sun.
