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.”

Just a decade or so ago these same pinheads said British children would grow up never seeing snow.

I had forgotten about that. They made it sound like a bad thing!

I don’t think they do much ice skating on the Thames any more o they? That was a big deal in Dicken’s day.

It's important to note that the Thames has been changed by Man in the past century or so -- dredging, drainage, etc. It is deeper and flows faster and is very unlikely to freeze over at this point, although it did with some regularity during the Little Ice Age.

If the Global Warming folks argue against current cooler temperatures, based on the fact that the Thames hasn't frozen recently, then they are making a false argument.

Probably more earthquakes too that cause the 2005 tsunami.
(They will argue that the melting ice caps causes a weight shift in the crust that causes the earthquakes that cause the tsumani.)

from wiki:

According to the U.S. Geological Survey a total of 227,898 people died (see table below for details).[1] Measured in lives lost, this is one of the ten worst earthquakes in recorded history, as well as the single worst tsunami in history. Indonesia was the worst affected area, with most death toll estimates at around 170,000.[52] However, another report by Siti Fadilah Supari, the Indonesian Minister of Health at the time, estimated the death total to be as high as 220,000 in Indonesia alone, giving a total of 280,000 casualties

I had a debate with a democrat on global warming

of course the democrat believes in man made global warming( they all do )

i couldn't convince him that it was a hoax. it couldn't believe that all of those scientist and his beloved media and beloved government would lie for all these years. but I said yes they all have lied for 30 years crying “global warming”

I just saw a video of some liberals still saying global warming is real. i won't post the link so as to not give it more publicity but i will post on the comments. unbelievable video of some liberal idiot giving a speech
