Euro-freeze zone: Extreme frost blankets Europe (PHOTOS)

February 11, 2012 14:39

Thick ice and heavy snow have locked the entire European continent, already claiming the lives of nearly 500 people. And while Europeans are struggling to warm themselves, frigid temperatures are showing no signs of rising in coming weeks.

"Want my government to keep me warm" is the cry of the dependent masses of Europe. Laughable is to think that man is so powerful to change wold patterns. but those who seek more control of the population will influence minds with propaganda. end result get richer (Algore) manage weak mind people.

If you think the weather patterns are not abnormal, you have not looked outside. Global warming is real. Climate change is real. The warming is the global average. The weather patterns change in particular areas. Some places get colder, some get hotter. There is one reason nothing serious is being done to deal with it. The big capitalists care about nothing but proft. To solve the climate crisis we are going to have to overthrow capitalism.

So much for Global Warming.... Any inbicile believe in this HOAX needs therapy. Al Gore was WRONG and his lies are being exposed by mother nature its self
____________ ____________________ ____________________ ________ Common man, we are not that stupid not to see the money aim of Al Gore’s behind scheme, but neither we are stupid enough not to see with our eyes what happens to the climate and as well to listen to the team of 5000 scientist from all over the world on the subject. Why firstly almost all would accept sign in to the Kyoto Protocol, except USA of course - from where comes the largest pollution, and than start pull out of it if it wasn’t for them all about money and profits? I couldn’t believe when I heard Canada would do that too.This, and there is another serious disturber the Americans are working hard on called HAARP program - go read on the net what does.

To the “periodical cyclist’s” theorisers I would like to suggest another theory I’ve heard “earth’s life recycling” …our civilisation is merely the first lived on this planet. How some people naively expect such a tremendous industrial boost seen for the last 100 years with irresponsible over pollution would somehow not affect the climate? It is if to believe one would not clean his/her house expecting to be clean. Chemicals in the air, water, soil, food, rains, and everywhere… everything in the nature is tightly interconnected. Why is that rumours start to spread the rulers [western] of the world already began spreading the notion of reduction of the global population? Or could it be they know it full well, and they know well there is nothing could be done to stop it? Weren’t the N Americas and Europe registered as the most contributing planet’s polluters, and don’t we now witnessing an industrial boom all over the world… and perhaps the flat-earthers would still like to believe the men does not contribute to the climate change? I am also a dreamer, but I also see objectively the reality.

OH CANADA! WE STAND ON GUARD FOR THEE.opps sorry.  Thought I was looking at pics of a typical Canadian Winter.Maybe the EUROPEAN people could hire Canadians to come teach them how to survive a mild winter.Currently I am above the Arctic Circle on an adventure trip just for fun and it is colder then what they have there.Reality Check people.  Weather systems come and go.  Be prepared at all times.

Climate has cycles and variations so that there are always periodical cold snaps. Unfortunately, there is a social dimension as to how societies cope with climate extremes and its apparent that so many homeless people are freezing to death in Ukraine because there aren't any emergency programs to help the homeless.

This global warming stuff begins worrying me!

Its going to be much more colder next winter when global warming develops yet further. They say even the summers will be much colder. Terrible!

the global weather pattern has drastically changed.

Not really.
All the sorts of weather we've had over the last 20 years have been experienced before.

We are truly a gullible, stupid species. When someone says "the sky is falling" we should say "really? people have been saying that for the last 5000 years and the sky is still in place". Instead, we run around like headless chickens handing our freedom away to people who fly everywhere in private jets whilst telling us we must consume less to save the planet.
_____ ____________________ ____________________ ______________ Seem s you quote me: Nonsense, complete nonsense! I am old enough to remember how was 50 years ago and see how is now - for that you don’t even need science or Al Gore’s Nobel Peace Prize as a valid argument. And if you believe I am another flat-earther you are gravely wrong again, but indeed the flat-earthers stubbornly rejet to accept it. Perhaps they have their own reasons? However, a minute of silence for the 500 dead!

Besides all the existing theories of climate change one thing is sure; the global weather pattern has drastically changed. The deep continental areas can experience either extreme hot or cold, while the costal extreme winds. Rains and floods as well.
