The Frozen Baltic

TarJak · 03-04-10, 08:50 PM

In a situation not seen since the mid 1980's, about 50 ships are frozen in the Baltic Sea due to icy conditions.

The poles will melt and the tropics will freeze. Equatorial glaciers will become so thick they slow down the earths rotation enough to add a couple of hours to the day. The mosquito count at my cabin will remain unchanged.

No. No. They aren't realy iced in.
It's just everyone's imagination.

Just ask the Global WARMING "experts".

Same goes for all this "imaginary" snow.
Now. Let me watch the Global WARMING "experts" drive as though it's summer.
(But please, don't do it near me).

Three of those ships collided with each other when they were trying to break through the ice/get loose from the ice. They told the passengers to move to the right side of the boat and the collision was on the left side. Pretty amateurish stuff.

I guess there is no threat of sinking though. Boring.

Check west of the Gulf of Finland.

Are you serious?
Oh come on no one ever said that global warming will drive out winter entirely. We are talking about a global AVERAGE temperature raising of just a few degrees Celsius. The weather is going to become more extreme in both directions. Or in simple words: If your summer is three degrees hotter than normal then your winter can be two degrees colder than normal and you still have a raised AVERAGE temperature.
