"Records shatter as arctic weather grips Europe"

Haven't they heard of I-pods yet?

And in other weather news, never to be reported in the MSM, the eastern Interior of Alaska's temperature is -48 F. ;)

Celsius. darn euros..

Yes, Bush's fault since he caused Global Warming...

[NormsRevenge]

I hear ya.

In the -40s was not unusual where I grew up,,

[KarlInOhio]

Probably Fahrenheit

At the zoo in Dresden, Germany, 21 Humboldt penguins were moved from their minus 6 outdoor environment into a building where the temperature was a more comfortable 32 degrees to ensure their feet didn't freeze, zoo director Karl Ukena said.

I doubt that you would take penguins from -6C (21F) and put them inside at a more comfortable 32C (90F). Mmmm baked penguin.

Time for tin-ear mega-bonehead Al Gore to do one of his usual global warming hystrionic hissy fits. He did one of these crazy-talk ravings on the coldest day of the year last year.

Good point.

Thanks for the reminder, here is His Royal HieynaAss of the envirowackjobs recently..

Former Vice President Al Gore delivers a speech on global warming and the environment at the Beacon Theater in New York, January 15, 2004. A wave of movies with messages, such as the documentary 'An Inconvenient Truth' which Gore is promoting, swept through the Sundance Film Festival by its mid-point on Tuesday, reminding some old Hollywood stars of the 1970s when films not only entertained audiences but informed them as well.

Yes, indeed, no matter what the temperature, rain or shine, hail, snow or tropical monsoon the reason is ALWAYS "global warming". Also keep in mind that the sole reason for "global warming" is the use of fossil fuels by greedy industrialists led by George Bush. Sunspots, volcanic eruptions and all other cosmic/natural influences are minor contributors at worst.

[Little Ray]

Global Warming.

[Chena]

Isn't it invigorating? LOL :)

[Plutarch]

Well, good, maybe the Dutch can run the Elfstedentocht for the first time since 1997.

[Buck W.]

Yes--two days before the day after tomorrow...

[Beckwith]

Just in time for Al Gore's new book on global warming.

Gore to publish book on global warming

I saw a program on the History channel about the 'little ice age', it started like this and lasted 500 yrs. Scary stuff!
