The temperatures in the North America are the coldest since 1966.
Snow in Israel, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Syria.
In Baghdad, it has been over 105 years since they show records of snow. The difference: According to the records, 105 years ago the snow fell and stayed for minutes. This time it collected for hours, in large amounts - the same for Jordan and Syria - snowplows were used.
Canada - the coldest and snowiest year in decades. (they do count as part of North America, the colder part)
China - the coldest temperatures in over 100 years.
South America - coldest winter (summer here) in decades.
Greenland - temperatures -50 below consistently. Lowest temps they have seen without windchill as long as people can remember.
Australia - their winter (summer) was coldest in fifty years, with few fires, lower than average temperatures, and more rain.
Russia / Siberia - coldest winter on record.
Coldest winter in nearly a decade in parts of the US, more snow than in many winters combined.
And the ice that had melted on the glaciers ... its back and its thicker than it was
And the worlds temperatures have dropped ... precipitously.
The death and destruction from the cold stretches around the globe, almost unnoticed and certainly not reported. Climate dissent grows hotter as chill deepens.
It would help if Gore would get out and do a little dance and tell us how warm it is. We might feel warmer.
Update 3/3/08: The founder of The Weather Channel has suggested a lawsuit against Al Gore to take the issue to court where it could be sorted out.
There is NO SCIENTIFIC CONSENSUS. ONLY BULLYING and intimidation of anyone who speaks out against the notion of global warming. EVEN members of the group that shared the award with Gore, do not agree with the opinion of the group. They have voiced their opposition recently in Vancouver Canada at a convention on global warming.
FEW people say that the weather is not changing. BUT records are not available to tell if it is cold or warm or really cold or really cool ... we have 100, 200 years of records and archaeological digs that show significant differences from those dictated to us by the UN. The REAL evidence does not support the 'scientific community'. What all evidence shows is the planet is changing, but humans play a minor relatively insignificant role in that change. Imagine a nuclear bomb going off and you holding up a shield to save yourself as the fire, wind and blast spread. We play very little role in our earth's environment despite that we believe otherwise.
