Here is a list of recent extreme weather
events of freezing temperatures during the current
global warming hype!
The current climate trend may be scary for
many climatologists, because it doesn't seem to
cooperate with predicted global warming from greenhouse
gases. No exponential warming trend in line with increasing
levels of CO2.
Instead, since the start of the new
millennium the temperature trend is leveling off.
If this
trend is set to continue the global warming bubble scare
will eventually burst. This would be a real disaster for
future funding and jobs for the many scientists that study
the effects of greenhouse gases and global warming.

It is possible that the tipping point from
the 20th century warming trend already have been reached.
In 1998 a strong El Niño "an ocean temperature surface
phenomena of the Pacific" pushed up the global
temperature. Since then the Earth's average surface
temperature have leveled off.
In the Southern Hemisphere the temperature
is getting lower, especially in the South Pacific near
Antarctica.
The media is now mostly interested of
reporting weather events they think can be connected the
global warming from greenhouse gases in order to create
splashy headlines. This means that they
like to report about heat waves, droughts, floodings and
hurricanes from all around the world.
What they don't
like to inform you about are unusual freak cold snaps
other than to say that some of the cold weather may be
attributed to climate change and from the predicted
increasing numbers of intense storms as a result of global
warming.
Therefore I'm proud to be able to give you a
list on this page of a collection of resent freak cold
weather events that largely have gone unnoticed in the
media. You probably can't find this collection on any
other site on the Internet in one place.
WARNING if
you are a climatologist!! Please...LEAVE this website now...!!
This information can be very chilly and a scary read if
you
are making an academic career as a true disciple of the
anthropogenic global warming
apocalyptic faith and believe system.
You're much
better off continue reading peer reviewed "censured"
journals in climatology and learn about the latest
computer prediction of increase in flooding, drought, rising of the sea level, storm increase,
the spread of deadly plagues and the
melting of the ice caps.
...You know the usual stuff!
Or you could pray for more global warming!!
NASA Picture Of The Snow in Lesotho and South Africa
South Africa
At the end of July and beginning of August
2006 a freak weather system gave snow and low temperatures
to large area of South Africa and Lesotho. This satellite
photo shows this rare event of large extended snow cover
of the east South Africa mountains and of Lesotho.
Snow
was also reported in Johannesburg for the first time
in 25 years.
Two weeks later in 2006 they were once again hit by heavy
snow in South Africa!!
Early winter sets in with record low
temperatures and snowfall in South Africa May
2007.
Late June 2007.
Pretoria sees its first snowfall since 1968 and
some parts of Johannesburg gets up to 4 inches of snow! It resulted
in flight delays as the Johannesburg airport became
covered in snow and ice.
More pictures from South Africa!
A Johannesburg drive, the
day after the snowfall!
Iceberg spotted for the first time outside the South
African coast in 150 years, October 2007 ---------------------------
Australia
Snow in Melbourne on Christmas
day 2006 in Australia???
You
must be kidding ... Mate!!!
Well, not exactly, but the
surrounding mountains in Victoria
and Tasmania got heavy white snow during Christmas.
This is weird, because as far as I know
this is in the Southern Hemisphere,
during their summertime. People took to the hills both
in Tasmania and in
Victoria and were able to
experience an Australian white Christmas for the first
time ever.

Australia 2006
Earlier the same year in
their spring they had snow in
Queensland in November following a freak storm!!
Looking at Western Australia,
Perth, Australia got it's first
frosty freeze...EVER RECORDED!
This happened in June 2006.
Heaviest snowfall in Southern Australia since 1951.
This happened in August 2005.
The ocean between Australia and Antarctica
is that part on the Earth which is cooling down the most
giving more occasional cold snaps to Australia.
Australian tropics affected by climate change?
Record low temperatures reported from large areas of
Queensland and in The Northern Territory. Retailers
had a hard time meeting the sudden demand for warm clothes
and heaters as low temperatures hit the area. Late June
2007. During the same time the long drought that had
effected the interior were replaced by heavy rains and
extensive flooding.
This
PDF report from the Australia's National Meteorological
Service document the exceptional nature of the weather event.
A freezing message from tropical
Queensland!
The cold weather led to Coral bleaching on the Great
Barrier Reef!
Threat to coral reefs from global
cooling?
On Mid July 2007 the chill continued in
Queensland hitting Brisbane, the Gold and Sunshine Coast
with sub-zero temperatures.
Global warming on the Gold Coast??
---------------------------
South America
Cold temperatures in the Andean mountains early in the
season killed more than 200 people prompting emergency
relief for Peru. Scientists blame this on
"climate
change"?..!!!!. Late may 2007
Southern South America is experience its harshest winters
in living memory. It started in May with cold weather
which led to energy shortage in Argentina and snowfall in
the Andes.
On the 9th of July 2007 Buenos Aires became covered in
snow for the first time since 1918.
Snow in Buenos Aires, Winter Wonderland!

Persian Gulf
Hold on to your hat...or better still your
"shimagh" or Arab head scarf because for the first
time ever snow fell in one of the last days of 2004
in the
United Arab Emirates.
This country is located in the Persian Gulf and is more
accustomed to temperatures above 40 degrees Centigrade.
---------------------------
Indian Subcontinent
One morning in January 2006 people woke up
in New Delhi, India seeing FROST on the streets and on
cars. Not good for the many homeless people living on
the streets. This was the first time in 70 years frost
appeared in this overcrowded city.
Snow fell in
Katmandu, Nepal for the first time in 60 years
This happened in February 2007.
---------------------------
The Middle East
Snow in Jerusalem in late December 2006.
Snow in Amman, Jordan and in Israel, March 2007
In 2007-2008
Iran saw its coldest winter in over 50 years!
Global cooling deniers are not only limited
to the west. Look at the interview with this Iranian lady
who also are one of the authors of the IPCC rapport.
Extreme cool temperatures and heavy snowfall are
apparently signs
of global warming, Sorry--it is now called "Climate
Change". -- Go figure!!
That winter saw northern and central part
of Iran turn into an artic tundra.
On
11 January 2008, the people in Baghdad, Iraq were hit by
bombardment of falling snowflakes. This was the first time
this had happen for at least 100 years.
Northern parts of The Saudi Arabian kingdom
was hit by a rare snowstorm by the same weather system
that brought snow to Baghdad.
The Saudi King have to send help to snow
weather victims.
---------------------------
The Artic
North Pole expedition to monitor Global Warming cancel trip due to
severe frostbite...!!
In March 2007 two women on a
trek to the North Pole had to stop their expedition and be rescued
because the temperature sank to minus 100 degrees
Fahrenheit, in March 2007.
That is below minus 70 degrees Centigrade if
it is to be believed. Anyway, it can still be extremely cold near the
North Pole and the weather is still unpredictable.
Here's their website!
After the breakup of their expedition I
closely monitored the temperature on Svalbard or
Spitsbergen which it is also called. Because it's a
Norwegian territory near the North Pole it's included in
the weather forecasts seen on Norwegian TV. So I'm able to see
the current temperature in Longyearbyen which is the main
community centre on Spitsbergen. The temperature so far
have been very low, much lower to the temperature earlier
in the winter and for previous years. The last couple of years
have brought mild
winters. This have affected the glaciers and how much ice
that is forming in the Artic Ocean around that territory.
The global warming icon of the Artic is of
course the ice bears. I happen to listen to a call on the
net between a Swedish journalist and researcher who study
ice bears on Svalbard. The discussion dealt with ice bear survival and
that they need sea ice cover for survival in order to hunt
for seal cubs.
Strangely..not once in their conversation did they ever talk about
that the
current weather had become cooler and that the spring this year
was cool.
Fascinating!! Because to acknowledge that
would give doubt to notion the ice bear population is in mortal
danger.
---------------------------
Antarctica
NEW! Shocking
climate
revelation! The sea ice extend around Antarctica
reached a record breaking large size of 16.2 Million square
kilometers in late September 2007. While the climate
Orwellian inspired corporate news media during the same
time covered extensively news of a new low artic sea ice
record made by a sea ice monitoring NASA satellite which
have monitored the sea ice of both poles since 1979, no
coverage of the made sea ice record around Antarctica can
be found in any news media, but here.

hemisphere.

Russia and Europe
In 2006, Russia experienced its coldest winter of the
last 25 years This cold spread also to most of western
Europe, with heavy snowfall in central Europe and the Alps.
It also gave a cold and late spring in Scandinavia not
seen for the past 20 years.
---------------------------
Far East
In January of 2008 China was crippled by its worst snowstorm in
over 60 years.
A video clip from The First Ever
governmental emergency global cooling press conference
during the new modern climate minimum that we are now
entering. This was recently held in China as a result of
the severe blizzards that swept across that country, which
were caused by the initial phase of the current period of
worldwide global cooling.
The last similar cold spell or
solar minimum occurred during the French Revolution and
the Napoleon Wars and is called the Dalton minimum. The
new solar minima have not got any scientific name yet, so
I like to call it "The Modern Minimum".
In the not to distant future
we can expect to see many more such press conferences from
many other places in the world.
---------------------------
The US
Cold snap in western US
reached as far as Southern
California in January 2007.
The frost caused severe
crop damage in Californian to the Californian
agriculture
and its citrus fruits. Also the central US down to Texas were
subjected to an unusual
ice storm reaching far to the deep south.
The Cherry blossom festival in Washington was interrupted
by snow during Eastern 2007. This cold snap also
brought
late winter frost to the US South and caused crop damage. Atlanta
saw it's lowest temperature for April for the last 100
years.
A side note! I woke myself up on Easter day
to find snow cover of 4 inches where I live. But I live in
another part of the world, in Norway.
Where I live late
snow is not that unusual. Our local rescue service had a
busy Easter holiday as many people had to be rescued on the
mountain passes next to where I live as the roads were
closed during
a snow storm.
Snowfall in
Daytona Beach in Florida on the 8th of January 2008

New Zealand
In the spring of November 2007
icebergs were spotted near New Zealand, South Island.
This was the first time this have happen for the last 75
years. Not only one iceberg but a huge flotilla of
over 100 iceberg were moving near the South Island.
Iceberg news report from New Zealand

East Africa
The are two icons in the global warming
debate. One are the ice bears the other is the glaciers of
Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. The glaciers on Kilimanjaro is
claimed to be melting as a result of the warming of the
Earth caused by greenhouse gases. It turns out that most of
the melting or to be more correct the evaporation of the
glaciers happen at the beginning of the 20th century.
Guess
what!! Last year saw an increase of the
Kilimanjaro's glaciers.
On that altitude more than
5000 meters above sea level, a glacier if it is
decreasing in size is not melting, instead it is
evaporating as a result of the low air pressure and
intense sunlight.
I can testify to that as I have myself
walked on Khumbu Glacier, next to Mount Everest at the
same altitudes. If there is sunshine at that altitude it
gets very warm, if clouds comes it get chillingly cold at
once.
If global warming was caused by greenhouse
gasses then one would expect to see the glaciers to
increase. There would be more moisture, more
cloud and more snowfall and less direct sunshine on these
high altitude glaciers in the tropics.
If the warming is
caused by less cloud cover one would expect to see less
cloud, less snowfall and more direct sunshine. And this
is precisely what we see not only on Kilimanjaro, but also in
the Himalayas and on other glaciers in the tropics. This
is a process which probably have been going on for the
past 100 years as the Sun's magnetic activity have
been increasing.
