Britain facing one of the coldest winters in 100 years, experts predict - Telegraph


Quote:
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. the likelihood is that the second half of the month will be even colder.
Paging Al Gore. Paging Al Gore.

Mr. Gore could not be reached for comment.

Isolated incidents are not the sole barometer for global warming, but rather an overall trend.

So you agree it's getting colder. Thanks for the clarification.

Rather than posting these threads with a political agenda everytime it snows, it would be helpful for all you non-scientists to realize that global warming does not mean it simply gets warmer all over. Scientists have known for a long time that it would get unseasonably cold in some areas and snow a great deal more in other areas (due to different temps).

It's more important to look at the shift in plant and animal species, which are occupying ranges never before known - ranges that would suggest things are getting warmer.

It really has nothing to do with weather patterns or Al Gore - two dead give aways that your introduction to this issue came through a political spectrum and not the decades of research that's gone into it.

Let's be sure to post similar topics in the summer whenever there's a heatwave to "prove" that global warming is real. It'll make just as much sense.

Actually, you don't see topics like that in the summer because the people who understand climate change also understand that short-term weather events aren't an indication of overall trends.

I'll make you a deal. When global warmongers quit politicizing their science I'll cease posting threads mocking their bogus conclusions.

A couple bad apples out of several thousand bunches doesn't ruin the whole batch.

Let me get this right... if its warmer than usual than its global warming... if its colder than usual than it doesn't mean that its not global warming... you global warming freaks are weird... basically "nothing" will disprove global warming... that's your science? sounds more like faith...

Perhaps in England, but not on the mainland.
The Austrian and German Alps have little or no snow.
I was in the French mountains this weekend and we got about an inch of snow.
The ski areas in Europe are losing a lot of money because it's too warm to snow.

It's snowing in Bavaria today, but it's too warm to stick for long.

You really don't have to keep showing how little you know, Zack.
