I’m pleased to see that there is now increasing proof that global warming is on hold.

1.In Buffalo, New York, the total snowfall in the past 10 days is equal to the levels normally expected over an entire year. Eight people sadly died when a killer freeze sent temperatures plunging below zero in all fifty states.

Unexpected ice has forced the earliest closure ever of the upper Mississippi River to river traffic.

2. According to Nassa, there has been no global temperature increase for the past eighteen years.

3. The levels of Antarctic sea-ice last July was the by far the highest level since satellite observations began in 1979. The total polar seaice was one million square Kilometres more than the long term average.

4. Last December,( summer in the Southern hemisphere), a team of Australian climate scientists set out on a Russian research ship on a mission to the Antarctic to raise awareness of global warming. They were joined by an Australian Green MP, two environment journalists from the Guardian newspaper and a BBC science journalist, all eager to relay details of the Expeditions vital findings which support their gospel of man-made global warming. Then disaster struck, the ship got stuck in sea-ice, and despite the efforts of three ice breaking ships, one managed to get within ten miles before being driven back by bad weather.

The crew and passengers had to be rescued by helicopter, what an embarrassment!

5. Records from the Danish Meteorological Institute show that Artic mean temperatures have barely changed since records began in 1958.

6. Since the 1950s Polar Bear populations have exploded from around 5,000 to between 20 and 25,000.

7. The U.S. oil industry last year suffered from one of it’s coldest winters on record.

Reports had the numbing cold freezing the diesel in their tanks.

This information is bound to upset our Green Party members, friends of the Earth and Guardian newspaper readers plus all the global warming fanatics in the area.!
