Britain is bracing itself for one of the coldest winters for a century with temperatures hitting minus 16 degrees Celsius, forecasters have warned.

They predicted no let up in the freezing snap until at least mid-January, with snow, ice and severe frosts dominating.

And the likelihood is that the second half of the month will be even colder.

As the globe warms it gets colder. As it gets colder, polar bears become endangered because their population is growing.

Women, minorities disproportionately impacted, experts say.
Al Gore has been placed on suicide watch.

Anthropogenic Global Warming Theory is very robust with respect to data. All observations confirm it at the 100% confidence level.

It’s amusing— if it weren’t so sad. One of the talking heads on The Weather Channel this morning did a blurb on how we could be experiencing global warming and record low temperatures (some 150 yrs. old) at the same time. I tuned him out. Now I wish I’d listened— just for laughs.

What I find funny is there is hardly EVER any mention to the Earth's long term wobble (100000 year cycle if memory serves), the lack of Sun spots and our position within our own galaxy (speculative Sine movement within our own galaxy).

Also read that NASA has detected the heliosphere has "degraded" 25% in the last ten years.

My point is, there are SOOOO many variables to our environment and a good chunk is outside reach of what we mere mortals can do about it anyway.

Hoping others can weigh in on the cosmic aspect as it relates to our long term weather.

Indeed, it’s minus 25 centigrade where I am. So much for AGW.

Damn that "global warming."

Here in North Texas, we've experienced the first white Christmas in over 75 years. In fact, we've had 3 measurable snowfalls BEFORE year end - I can't remember when that's ever happened before in my lifetime.

I have a continuous line of icicles on the roof, some up to 4 feet long and growing. They grew within the last 2 days. Snow, snow, and more snow here in New Hampshire.

Maybe some of those lying limey “scientists” who faked the “golbal warming” data will get a taste of real climate change.

Do you go by centigrade in Canada? I wonder how many degrees that is fahrenheit?

We’re supposed to get single digits here in southern MO tonight and tomorrow night. Brrr.

Somebody contact the IPCC. They need to use a little of that “fudge factor” “trick” in order to “hide the decline” in global temps.

-25C = -13F.

who faked the “golbal warming”

You are obviously a denier. Your reckless acertion is unscientific because there is absolutely NO proof that raw data was faked. It has all been destroyed to make room for the "value-added" data.

Meanwhile, a fleet of gritters in Perth, central Scotland, was grounded this week because it was so cold, leaving roads untreated in temperatures of minus 10 degrees.

That is Centigrade; 14F in real degrees. Our plow and sander drivers would have been willing to kill last week to have such balmy working conditions.

We've been hovering in single digits at night, both above and below; and staying below freezing during the day. A

Across the state at Sioux Falls last night, it was supposed to be -25F...that's -31C, but the sanders still sand!
