The bitter winter afflicting much of the Northern Hemisphere is only the start of a global trend towards cooler weather that is likely to last for 20 or 30 years, say some of the world’s most eminent climate scientists.
Their predictions – based on an analysis of natural cycles in water temperatures in the Pacific and Atlantic oceans – challenge some of the global warming orthodoxy’s most deeply cherished beliefs, such as the claim that the North Pole will be free of ice in summer by 2013.
According to the US National Snow and Ice Data Centre in Colorado, Arctic summer sea ice has increased by 409,000 square miles, or 26 per cent, since 2007 – and even the most committed global warming activists do not dispute this.
Think this is a joke? Look at the weather this year in Europe; it is cold....
As Europe struggles amid the heaviest snowfall seen in decades, yet more snow-induced chaos is in store. The low pressure front "Daisy" is expected to unleash storms and heavy snow across Germany over the weekend. Officials are urging people to stock up on food and avoid driving.
Even more snow is on its way across Germany and much of Europe, weather forecasters predicted on Friday. The German Meteorological Service (DWD) put out a weather warning, saying the low pressure front "Daisy" would bring gale force winds and up to 50 centimeters of snow and could trigger road chaos and power outages over the weekend.
Maybe it is just me, but it sure seems that the weather is much cooler the last few years here in the states as well.
