Errrrr yep, the hottest year of the hottest decade in a thousand years will also contain the coldest winter in a thousand years. Makes sense.
Amazing stuff this carbon as chemists have known for a long time.
It can heat you up, it can freeze you down.
Just enough of the stuff is essential to life, but a tiny little bit more and life is stuffed. A tiny little bit less and life suffocates.
Amazing how life on this planet has been teetering on the edge, finely balanced for hundreds of millions of years. Certainly not robust, though the science is. /sarc off
The fountain in that picture is full of “rotten” ice. Or maybe it is really boiling water from the hottest year ever.
Flashback
"Scientists predict Canadians in for mild winter" – Sep. 25 2006
and
"Record cold snap stalls Winnipeg school bus service" – February 5, 2007
Too early to tell if it will be the coldest winter in 100 years as we have two more months to go, however looking at the sea temperatures around the UK there is a good chance.
Coldest December in 100 years, well it probably is 😀
As for 1000 years there are some big big freezes in the 16 and 17 hundreds that would take a lot to beat 1709 was really really cold.
If we got one as cold as that tens of thousands of people would be dying of exposure (as we are not prepared for that kind of winter).
I suspect due to the Suns low activity we will see some Winters that are the worst in living memory in the next 10 years and if the next cycle is lower then we will really get hammered 😮
Interesting commentary on December and on 2010 as a whole – in the UK – at Paul Hudson’s blog at the BBC. http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/paulhudson/
So the hottest year ever brings us the coldest December in a thousand years.
That’s quite a killer event for any warmista.
Daily Star ?

Very scientific I’m sure!
Actually I am getting hotter just looking at those warm fronts 😀

The UK is having a bit of a lull, but the cold pattern should re-establish itself again next week.
BAA Humbug: “Amazing stuff this carbon … It can heat you up, it can freeze you down.
Just enough of the stuff is essential to life, but a tiny little bit more and life is stuffed. A tiny little bit less and life suffocates.
Amazing how life on this planet has been teetering on the edge, finely balanced for hundreds of millions of years.”
REPLY: Errr… I am a chemist. And for “hundreds of millions of years” atmospheric concentrations of CO2 have been much much higher than they are now. (Berner/Geocarb) In fact at our current concentration of CO2 (380 ppm) our atmosphere is nearest it’s ALL TIME LOW. For most of Earth’s history atmospheric CO2 has been above 1000 ppm and as high as 8000 ppm. Of course this did nothing to stop ice ages, afterall CO2 has never been a climate driver but rather a lagging effect. DUH
I am very sceptical of current claims regarding CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere. I came to the conclusion that it is a phantom to create hysteria, like the monster in the closet or under the bed! They are also trying to exaggerate a few other compounds as fellow monsters that are going to eat all the little children at some magical time in the future!
Global Average of these chemical compounds means diddley squat!
Only in the uk apparently;

In a 1000 yrs takes us back to the mini ice age times. Are we entering another one? Is that possible? It could be even worse … look up “Younger Dryas” … even that was noted to not be all that big tho it dropped avg temps close to 20 deg. C! Siberia like winters in UK and US as well as much of Europe may be with us for awhile. There is evidence that events like Younger Dryas are normal oscillations between warm spells. Here is a link:

For those worried that tens of thousands may die of exposure…it could be a lot worse than that. It was noted in a US govt commissioned report that 1/3 to 1/2 of the populations in affected areas could die in an abrupt climate change event like this. If you are interested in discussion of this subj., plse join the Abrupt Climate Change group on Yahoo. Lots of links and messages on the subject there.

ps-in such an event most of the world would become both cooler and drier, to the point of becoming arid or semi-arid.
