For the past four days, autumn temperatures in Ojmjakon, Russia have been hovering around -60F. I’ll bet they are really looking forward to winter when it arrives!
Temperatures across Russia and Mongolia are running 5-15C below normal, because this is the hottest year ever and Russia is having an unprecedented heat wave.

My BS-CAGW model predicted this. It’s consistent with my missing heat.
Going to be a cold NH winter. Siberia is the birthplace of cold air. It’s their #1 export…
Russia should have requested a last-minute transfer of global climate rent-seeking meeting from Mexico to Russia. Thousands of delegates will bring in tons of CO2 emission and “more warming”.
Nonoy:
Spell check:
Tons of CO2 and “more WORMING”
That sounds better! 😉

Here’s where they’ll be leisurely talking over skyrocket your electric bill, that is if they don’t get distracted from saving the world from your car exhaust and end up swimming drunk in the pool.

President Obama couldn’t get it over the fence so he’s trying for a single now:
What’s dead for now is the ambitious climate bill that President Obama had backed….. Obama couldn’t get the bill passed this year when Democrats controlled both the House and Senate, and he has said he’ll pursue smaller measures — what he calls “singles” instead of “home runs”….
Next is hoping for a walk. That could happen after the 2012 election. 🙂

I’m hoping for his expulsion….from the league.
About the temps in Mongolia…. gotta feel sorry for the animals. …. and the people who depend on them.
That’s weather, not climate! Won’t you ever learn?
Cancun to save the world from this:
….the harmful effects of climate change, which already this year has been responsible for 21,000 deaths, twice the level in 2009, according to Oxfam….. that displaced 20 million people…. destroyed 26 percent of the nation’s (Russia) wheat crop this year….Mexican President Felipe Calderon…..global warming already is causing natural disasters in his nation, killing at least 60…. 1,000 in Guatemala….
Godlike expectations:
….Tomorrow, negotiators will discuss a plan that formally would call on nations to limit global warming to 2 degrees Celsius…..

These people are f***ing lunatics……
“Second World War-style rationing in rich countries ”
“In one paper Professor Kevin Anderson, Director of the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research, said the only way to reduce global emissions enough, while allowing the poor nations to continue to grow, is to halt economic growth in the rich world over the next twenty years.”

It’s terrible, we have to start rationing energy immediately and fundamentally change our life styles.

Cold Outbreak Sets Up Western Europe for More SnowBy Jim Andrews, Senior Meteorologist

Nobama,
Who are you hoping will come in and “save america” from the socialists? Sarah Palin?
Trig Palin could do a better job than Obama.
PM Putin ordered his people to square away the power grid a year ago in anticipation of what his scientists forecast 5 years ago.
Our administration is less concerned about this.
Countries in debtor’s prison can’t see much from a small window at street level.

As this is a science site can you put all temperature measurements in the standard scientific values, like K or C? What’s this F baloney?
Andy
It’s a curious cultural phenomenon unique to Britain (I think) that people think of high temps in Fahrenheit and low temps in Celsius.
http://ask.metafilter.com/154662/Why-do-people-use-Celsius-when-the-weather-is-cold-and-Fahrenheit-when-its-hot
I have no problem visualising 70 or 80 degrees, but I have to do a mental conversion when Americans talk about 20 degree weather.
I have vivid memories when I see the high is going to be in the Teens. Living in the US with Fahrenheit thermometers for a life time and hearing weather reports in F is social conditioning to think in F rather than C. When I read somewhere it is 40 I want to put on a coat! 😉
Andy
You had better tell NCDC , they still use fahrenheit.
Is this the beginning of another COLD war?
I think the ‘Cold’ will win.
