It's a Good Thing The Planet Is Warming

Yes we know weather isn't climate, but isn't it strange that 10 years after warnings that children would never see snow in England due to global warming, we get this:

Britain shivers in 'ridiculously low' temperatures

Parts of Britain experienced record low temperatures on Saturday night, including minus 17 degrees Celsius in Wales, forecasters said.

The figures were released as the country's Met Office, Britain's national forecaster, warned of more heavy snow to come.

"You are seeing some ridiculously low temperatures - it has been a bit like it is in the middle of Scandinavia," said weather forecaster Michael Dukes.

The temperature in Llysdinam, near Llandrindod Wells in Wales, plunged to minus 17.3C - the principality's lowest ever temperature for November and Britain's coldest for the month since 1985.

The Met Office issued severe weather warnings on Sunday for large chunks of eastern and southern Scotland and eastern England, warning of heavy snowfalls.

Ireland also experienced heavy snow and Dublin airport was disrupted, with finance minister Brian Lenihan among those delayed as the weather made him late for crucial EU talks in Brussels on an international bailout for his country.

Drivers have been urged to be careful in badly hit areas, and roadside emergency firms in Britain reported a huge surge in calls for help.



This is just days before the latest UN junket on how to deal with global warming. What a joke!
