Climate change warning: Killer winter storms for next THIRTY years
Daily Star ^ | 12/8/2013 | Matthew Young

Posted on 12/08/2013 6:11:53 AM PST by IbJensen

KILLER freezes, floods and heatwaves will devastate Britain during the next 30 years, climate ­experts have warned.

Many people could die as extreme weather becomes common.

There will be more freak winds like the October storm, which killed four people.

Heatwaves will be lethal and the sea level will rise, leaving coastal towns at risk of being swamped by storm surges.

Sir Brian Heap, president of the European Academies Science Advisory Council, said he felt “obliged” to issue the warning after a new study by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

It comes on the back of Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines, which has killed more than 5,000 people.

Sir Brian said: “Given the tragic events this year in the rest of the world and the recent IPCC report, EASAC feels obliged to draw attention to the growing impact of extreme weather in Europe.”

The continent’s leading experts had made a detailed study of likely extreme weather, he said.

Sir Brian warned: “From the major loss of lives in heatwaves to the economic and human costs of floods and storms, the implications are worrying.

“They present the European Union and Member States with significant challenges in preparing Europe for a future with greater frequency of extreme weather.”

I believe they believe it, and they have the pulpit from which to preach it.

Whosoever “THEY” are!

Forty years ago it was "global cooling" according to Time Magazine.Five years ago it was "global warming" according to algore,a recently minted billionaire.Now we're back to cooling.

This will be their "new" climate change model, hotter summers, colder winters. "Climate Change".

I remember back towards the Spring. The lefty Weather Channel predicted like 17 storms and 10 Hurricanes in the Gulf area. Didn’t get close to that. Most turned out to the Atlantic before they got to the USA.

Freezing?

Wasn’t there supposed to not be any more snows after 2010?

The ONLY prediction about future weather patterns worth publishing is: long term weather patterns are unpredictable. Unfortunately, that statement doesn't sell newspapers. It also doesn't lend itself to providing material for fear producing congressional speeches nor can any academic charlatan line his pockets with a consistent stream of taxpayer funded grant dollars.

Are these the same “experts” who not too long ago were claiming man caused global warming would melt the polar ice and we would all be swimming by now? Do that didn’t work for them, climate change was DOA... So what, they looked at a calendar, noticed winter was almost upon us, and decided to try to sell a cold weather scare? These guys are no better than carnival hucksters. Maybe worse.

“Everyone talks about the weather but nobody does anything.”

That joke used to be real common but not anymore.

Liberals were too stupid to know it was a joke and took it serious.

What everyone knew was a joke is now reality to the left.

That is the power of propaganda.

What a coincidence. I watched the movie, 2012 yesterday.

Quick question... why did guy #2 take his gloves off in freezing weather to brace himself and support the weight of guy#3 dangling below?

“...Junk science like this ‘Gorebal Warming’ nonsense would be mildly amusing if so many ‘scientists’ weren’t trying to ram this down our throats! “

Just as those with marshmallow degrees and no talent go into “public service” , science majors who really should be majoring in English go into “climate research”.

I’m still mad about the light bulbs.

So am I, and we are not the only ones. We need an organized grass-roots effort to VOTE OUT EVERY Congresscritter who was involved in taking our lightbulbs away!

KILLER freezes...

Sorry, you have to get in the back of the line.

Behind bees, birds, clowns, rabbits and tomatoes.

And a ‘lovely’ ride it is too, at times. Did you see the FR post on the snowflake pics? Don’t have the thread, but one of the FReepers posted this link for the photographer’s work:
