Watching the troubles in Haiti, I keep thinking what would happen if a disaster happened here during the winter and we lost all power and water. Many people would die from the cold. We could not survive in tents. People trapped in buildings would die from exposure within hours. Heat is bad, but not as bad as bone chilling cold.
Sea freezes in China? Jan 16 - Unusually cold winter weather across much of northern and eastern China has brought heavy snowfall and icy winds, snarling transportation both on land and at sea.
In the Bohai sea to the country's northeast, ice covered some 30,000 square kilometres - up to 40 percent of the Bohai bay - by Saturday (January 16).
Ice extended as far as 70 nautical miles from the coast in some areas and the thickness reached 50 centimetres, the report on China's Central Television (CCTV) said.
In the country's vast northern Inner Mongolia region, thirty-five cars were stranded in the middle of a highway for more than 15 hours.
Cold kills. Ice in China? Will this be taken into account when they average global temperatures? Or will they continue to hide the decline but reducing the number of temperature readings in China. Guess Canada doesn't count because they do not include the NWT, Yukon or the Arctic in their global temperature readings.
Someone needs to call these so-called scientists on what the heck they are doing. Other scientists should be concerned because people are going to put them on the same page as politicians and journalists.
If I had a choice, I would pick global warming over global cooling any day!
