Forecasters say this winter could be the coldest Europe has seen in the last 1,000 years,
The change is reportedly connected with the speed of the Gulf Stream, which has shrunk
in half in just the last couple of years. Scientists say that it means the stream will not be
able to compensate for the cold from the Arctic winds. According to them, when the
stream is completely stopped, a new Ice Age will begin in Europe....

So much for Europe ;)  i allready say goodbya folks
I dunno if this Gulf Stream shrinking will affect you guys in the US too
but seeing Ripsnort's Video you have my prayers  :pray  :D

Now I'm really confused. I thought all the greens were wringing their hands over global WARMING?

What a great ecologic nightmare - it's everything! Manmade carbon will both turn the earth into an uninhabitable desert AND a barren snowy icicle!

They switched from "Global warming" to "climate change" a long time ago... People were pointing to record lows as counting the "warming" being Bull Honkey.

The only people who get snowed on and scoff at global warming are the ones who don't understand how weather works.

Ripsnort I just noticed that you had a couple of nudists living in your hot tub.

I belive it was a russian scientist who said that the Gulf Stream was slowing down but NASA and some other agenices did not agree. I dunno.. ive put on some thick wool socks just incase. October was milder that usual here, but November has been alot colder and they are saying the cold front we have now will stick around for atleast two weeks. Hmm... two weeks... where have i heard that before  :huh

Damn, now I wish I didn't live in California. All we get is rain, and no storms either.  Two best things in weather, Snow and Lightning. All I get is rain and earthquakes...  :cry

What's so hard to understand about warmer summers and colder winters, really?  All I've heard from the east this year is how darn hot the summer was and about how much snow they're already shoveling.  And they call us Californians loons.   :D   :bolt:
