As the world continues to see mounting pressure over curbing CO2 emissions, thousands of people across the UK stand dumbfounded as forecasters admit that there has been more than four weeks without a snow-free day.
Snow fall in the UK is fairly common but the sheer amounts of snow and the length of time is not. Many people are witnessing snow conditions of the last four weeks for the first time in their lives with many ‘older’ members of communities claiming that even they have never seen such conditions.
Most of the country has come to a standstill with school closures and widespread traffic crisis’ brought about by the arctic conditions. The Telegraph ran with the news this week that Britain is on track for the coldest January for more than 37 years and The Guardian told us the Russia had to step in to stop us running out of gas.
These shocking headlines have left most people asking “Where is the Global Warming ?” The UK grinding to a halt, worst weather in 37 years and gas shortages caused by the high demands in the cold and we are having it drummed into us that Global WARMING is causing this!
Some interesting facts that the Daily Express ran with a few days ago on why Global Warming Is Naturally Occurring:
After World War II, there was a huge surge in recorded CO2 emissions but global temperatures fell for four decades after 1940.
Throughout the Earth’s history, temperatures have often been warmer than now and CO2 levels have often been higher – more than ten times as high.
A Harvard University astrophysicist and geophysicist, Willie Soon, said he is “embarrassed and puzzled” by the shallow science in papers that support the proposition that the earth faces a climate crisis caused by global warming.
