The cold spell killed at least two people and about 180,000 head of livestock, affecting some 770,000 people across Inner Mongolia since late December, the Xinhua news agency said on Sunday. More than 3,700 people were evacuated, the agency quoted local officials as saying. China's average winter temperatures since late November were the lowest for 28 years, the Meteorological Administration said on Saturday. The average in the three northeastern provinces bordering Siberia hit a 43-year low of minus 15 degrees, the administration said. Temperatures in parts of Inner Mongolia fell to minus 40 degrees last week and snow lay up to 50 centimetres deep in the Greater Hinggan Mountains, reports said. In Mongolia, an independent nation that borders Inner Mongolia, temperatures as low as minus 50 degrees Celsius were recorded, Xinhua reported from Ulan Bator. The agency quoted the Mongolian government as saying snow up to 1.3 metres deep had covered more than 80 per cent of the country, cutting roads and endangering livestock in many areas. The cold weather also caused a build-up of sea ice that stranded about 1,000 boats in Laizhou Bay in the eastern Chinese province of Shandong, reports said.[/QUOTE] This sounds like my kind of weather [URL="http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/breaking-news/china-shivers-with-lows-of-minus-40c/story-fn3dxix6-1226548495688"]source[/URL]
This, the massive heat waves in australia, along with the massive US heat wave last season, and a year before that reports of a "freezing europe." Hopefully this will not continue to get worse. But something tells me it will.

That's ridiculously cold. Now we wait for some people to puff their chests because they go sunbathing in this weather or still do their daily km run
Cold, eh? Global warming my ass. [sp]I am completely joking[/sp]
Final nail in the coffin. Global warming confirmed for fallacy.

[QUOTE=Ereunity;39117963]Turbulant weather is caused by global warming. Climate instability is a warning sign of it.[/QUOTE] You are very misinformed. The climate over the globe is always this unpredictable. Hell, according to trend in ice ages, we're long overdue to have one. Maybe it's just a slow buildup to another unavoidable ice age sometime in the future.
