About 100,000 migratory birds disappeared in recent fierce snow storms in eastern China, state media reported Sunday.
Meanwhile, as a world warms…
Snow continued to fall in Jerusalem Tuesday after an overnight storm which blanketed city streets.
A raging snow storm that blanketed most of Greece over the weekend also continued into the early morning hours on Monday, plunging the country into sub-zero temperatures.
Because of a harsh and snowy winter, wildlife managers will start feeding starving deer near Eagle and Wolcott [Colorado] for just the third time in almost 25 years.
A cold air mass with west winds is expected to drive wind chills to the 20 below zero mark after midnight tonight. The cold will linger over much of southeastern Wisconsin Tuesday and Wednesday, with overnight wind chills of 11 to 25 below, according to the NWS.
The number of Afghans killed by the chilly weather continued in the snow-covered Afghanistan has reached almost 1000 …
News agencies said it was the most severe frost on Hoang Lien Son Mountain in at least 40 years – and the longest cold snap ever recorded in Vietnam.
I am a bit of a cynic, but come October, just before the US elections, I expect winter will have been forgotten and the NOAA or some ‘environmental’ group will send out a press release claiming something like: 2008 on the way to becoming one of the warmest years in ‘recorded history’ and/or the ozone hole is increasing at an ‘alarming’ rate (i.e. vote Obama to save the world).
The budget in B.C. has to pass in the legislature before it becomes law. This gives the opportunity for debate on the issue. If it passes then we finally will have the opportunity to initiate a class action lawsuit against the government. Given that the “hot air tax” is based on fraud we should be able to get this into the courts and the facts will be presented for all to see. The world wide temperature anomaly has been falling for 13 months and the temperature at the end of January is almost at the mean for the three main data streams used to calculate “average temp”. When the data for February comes in things could get very interesting.
The warmists have little to support their position except CO2 is a greenhouse gas. The realists keep getting more and more data that contradicts the warmists position.
BC now joining Queerbec’s lunacy of taxing C02…Both provinces having one of the cleanest overall skies compared to say Ontario’s industrial output and Alberta’s energy extraction…How Ironic!
I feel so secure to live in a country with both coasts protected by a bunch of socks and sandles socialist fruitcakes.
This country’s suckage increases daily.
If Obama is elected down south it will truly be game over in North America…The monkey see monkey do sheeple up here will also stick it up everybody’s collective arses by elected a moron like Dion…
Yes, with world financial markets in turmoil, energy prices soaring and geo/sociopolitical sparks flying everywhere in Europe and ME : All but buried/ignored by the MSM in favour of junk like AGW/the weather and Britney’s problems at the forefront to keep leftards like Libby asleep:
Kate’s predicted “starvation” is coming…And personally, I can’t wait!
Atlas needs to shrug ASAP!
Maybe someday we will “deserve the children” again.
BTW: Speaking of starvation, a potash mfg (Fertilizer) is warning this AM of imminent world pockets of starvation…Causes: Global cooling + ethanol production.
Bono should be at both Gore and Suzuki’s throats right now.

Unfortunately, I do not think a class action suit will happen, and if one starts up, it will not go anywhere. The only good thing about the carbon tax is that it will be implemented in steps until 2012. By then, the world will most likely be much cooler than it is now. But, the alarmist’s religious fervor will not be cooled; if anything, they will take credit for stopping the “reality” of manmade global warming.
BTW, did you hear Bill Good on CKNW this morning (8:30 to 9:00 am)? He had his usual global warming alarmist flunky from UVic on the program (Andrew Weaver). This flunky’s medieval religious fervor would be funny, if he did not have so much influence. Weaver is on Campbell’s “Climate Change Panel” and was one of 14 authors of a chapter of the last IPCC “report”. Both were praising the so-called carbon tax, and saying how progressive and wonderful it is. All but one caller that Bill Good took were agog about the wonderfulness of the tax; the one dissenter asked how we will know the tax works (and ranted about people going to jail).
On his radio program, Good calls anyone who does not believe in manmade global warming “deniers”. Premier Gordon Campbell gets his input on the ‘reality’ of manmade global warming from true believers like Weaver and Good. This is the kind of drivel is that Campbell bought into. And like any politician, he will tax anything he thinks he can get away with.
I am sure the Budget Bill will pass by a massive, if not unanimous, vote; but the NDP say it does not go far enough in many areas, so they may make an empty gesture and vote against it. In any case, the new budget will pass, and the BC carbon tax will be in force in July.
For those BC residents who I thinking of sitting the election out, I would suggest voting for the BC Marijuana party (assuming it reincarnates itself in libertarian form again). In 2002? the BC Marijuana party was the only party to come out against C68 and garnered over 50,000 votes province wide — most of those votes were in rural areas.
There’s really little choice here in BC and I’ve never been able to bring myself to vote Lieberal, especially once I found out that the provincial Lieberals share campaign workers and office space with the federal lying scum. Unfortunately there’s an attitude out here that people have to vote for the alternative most likely to keep the commies out of power. It was so easy when Social Credit was around.
It won’t take long for people in the interior to see what a tax grab this is as people actually have to heat their houses out there and drive long distances. Terasan gas is obliging in providing average monthly temperatures for the current year and previous year. As average winter temperatures plummet things will get really hot in the interior of BC.
I can guarantee you dalton mcarsehole is watching this whole thing like a hawk.
Smart money says we have the same kind of bull#$%^ in Ontario by this time next year.
You did not think the “family day” was free, did ya?
All this global warming poppycock bull kaka and were getting all this snow and supposedly becuase of global warming we were suppost to be to be looking like they did in that stupid movie WATERWORLD where KEVIN KOSNER swims around looking like a dork and the greens still continue to lie about the whole thing
