Forget global warming: Welcome to the new Ice Age
Lorne Gunter, National Post
Published: Monday, February 25, 2008
Snow cover over North America and much of Siberia, Mongolia and China is
greater than at any time since 1966.
The U.S. National Climatic Data Center (NCDC) reported that many
American cities and towns suffered record cold temperatures in January
and early February. According to the NCDC, the average temperature in
January "was -0.3 F cooler than the 1901-2000 (20th century) average."
China is surviving its most brutal winter in a century. Temperatures in
the normally balmy south were so low for so long that some middle-sized
cities went days and even weeks without electricity because once power
lines had toppled it was too cold or too icy to repair them.
There have been so many snow and ice storms in Ontario and Quebec in the
past two months that the real estate market has felt the pinch as home
buyers have stayed home rather than venturing out looking for new houses.
In just the first two weeks of February, Toronto received 70 cm of snow,
smashing the record of 66.6 cm for the entire month set back in the
pre-SUV, pre-Kyoto, pre-carbon footprint days of 1950.

. . . But I wonder what George thinks?
Here is an experiment you can try at home.
Use a mercury thermometer and measure the temperature in your house when you
get home tonight.
Now, shut your heat off and open your front door.
Notice, using the thermometer to measure the change, how the temperature
falls rapidly and significantly with the door open and the heat set to the
off position.

he can wait until she's asleep. We're pretty sure he lives with her.
