Coldest Winter In 1000 Years On the Way

Archeron

I for one think its time to lynch that Polar Bear who lives in the fridge in those birds eye ads. He wants free of his icy domain and this is the only way he can get it. Damn those DIY weather machines.

Anyone who wants to believe in the cyclical nature of climate might watch out for the 16 year severe winter cycle. 1995,1979,1963,1947,1931,1915. All colder winters, though 47 and 63 are the obvious stand outs. 2011 is next on the list. Jan,Feb,March could be interesting....just sayin'....;)

You must have missed the whole Global Warming threat.

Do you not recycle ?
Is you carbon footprint reduced ?

Then why is the Earth getting colder with more human activity... mmmm maybe its all bull****.

Its actually called Climate Change. The Average Temperature of the planet increases. One of the possible changes is that the gulf stream moves. This would actually make Ireland colder. Gulf stream movement is only a theory though as not much research has gone into the subject.

Obviously this is just a ploy by Smirnoff to increase vodka sales during winter.

If you've quoted this to make some
conspiracy theory joke, or to say
"CT room that way ---->
You need to be smacked
with an anti-gullability hammer
or something lol!

Is it gonna be cold in Austria? I'm going skiing in march.

johnjo, you can keep warm by burning all the money you surely took out of the bank following your last prediction thread about Irelands finances.

So you know what to look out for when it hits.

+18°C Hawaiians use blankets at night
+10°C Tenants in Helsinki flats are turning OFF their heating
+5°C Russians are still growing flowers
+ 2°C Italian cars won't start
0°C Destilled water freezes
-1°C Breath becomes visible. Russians eat ice-cream and drink cold beer
-4°C Your dog crawls into your bed
-10°C French cars won't start
-12°C Politicians start talking about the homeless
-15°C American cars won't start
-18°C Tenants in Helsinki flats are turning ON their heating. The Hawaiians froze to death.
-20°C Breath becomes audible
-24°C German cars won't start
-29°C Your dog crawls under your pyjamas. Japanese cars won't start
-30°C No regular or Russian cars would start now
-39°C The boiling atmosphere in all governments freezes. Russians are buttoning their shirts
-50°C Your car tries to crawl into your bed

-268°C Helium liquified

Indeed they do, though not with the same kind of accuracy and the same amounts of data we have these days of course. For example, Europe underwent a really cold phase in medieval times, with many rivers (including the Thames) freezing so hard that you could skate on them. So severe winters here aren't that unusual. And much is known about long term climate fluctuations in the past through ice core data, geological sediment cores, glaciation etc

It will have to be bloody cold to beat last year. We will be screwed this year because im sure the government hasn't got a penny for salt this year.

I can see a film in this.....

Global temperatures plummet in a very short period of time. Strange and extreme weather is observed across the planet. A brilliant scientist struggles to make the fat cats in Washington take notice. New York is deluged by a tidal wave that washes away the iconic Statue of Liberty.

The studio could call it "Two Days Away From Today"

I remember the big freeze of 1010.
Buckle your heat belts people, this is going to make last winter look like a holiday in Marbella.

Didn't they all move to Africa or something, at the end of that blockbuster/sensationalist/much Hollywood film?

I recall reading something about the loop current in the gulf of Mexico being effected by oil dispersant used during the deepwaterhorizon oilspill disaster.
The loop current is basically the begining of the gulf stream,it said Ireland might have to put up with minus 20 Celsius regularly.

Could be a load of bs.

I was in Switzerland last x mas and it was -18, it was fantastic a little nippy but with the right clothes wasn't too bad at all. I hope the toy shops start selling sledges, otherwise i will have to take the bonnet of the car.
