And it now seems that more people are dying from global 'cooling' then have EVER been killed from global 'warming'.

"...The prevailing cold conditions in north India worsened on Monday as heavy rain and snow lashed several parts of Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand, bringing temperatures below freezing point and taking the nationwide death toll to 139....".

That darn weather keeps on making the Science Fiction Fantasy Global Warming bunch seem stew-puhder and stew-puhder ever single day.

Every single prediction ever made by these folks has been proven to be 100% wrong. Every single one. Every last one of them has ZERO credibility in the real world.

Sure Governments keep on feeding them huge amounts of cash to continue writing science fiction. But that is because the criminal governments want to tax the heck out of everbody.

So, the 'state of the art' is that all of the top Science Fiction writers like Phil Jones, Kevin Trenbert, Robert Muller, and many others are now 'searching' for the missing warming. It would seem these 'climate scientists' have now devolved into modern day 'Sasquatch' hunters.

This is called "winter" dimbulb. It happens every year about this time.

When the death toll get above 20,000 let me know.

And as for the consequences of heat versus cold read below, Summer 2003, Europe.

In France, there were 14,802 heat-related deaths (mostly among the elderly) during the heat wave, according to the French National Institute of Health.

There were extensive forest fires in Portugal. Eighteen people died in the fires and there were an estimated 1866 to 2039 heat related deaths over all.

There were about 1,500 heat related deaths in the Netherlands, again largely the elderly.

There were 141 deaths in Spain.

Around 300 people—mostly elderly—died during the 2003 heatwave in Germany.

According to the BBC around 2,000 more people than usual died in the United Kingdom during the 2003 heatwave.

I'm trying to remember how many people died in Chicago that year from the hot summer. You're giving facts to someone who is not interested in reality. The faith is more important than the truth to that RWAF.

Go figure, ten years ago they were blaming the lack of snow on Global Warming, and making dire predictions about how the ski industry was bound to fail. The Swiss even attempted to wrap one of their mountains with a sheet to try to keep the snow from melting.

Now this, and they're still complaining, albeit from a different angle.

Have you checked snowfall reports lately? Overall, they ARE way down.

There are large fluctuations superimposed on a clear, long-term trend.

Why is this so hard for people to understand?
