Global warming make Britain freeze – experts say

by | 5th, February 2012

GLOBAL warming is to blame for the hot and the cold:

2010 – Independent:

“Snowfalls are now just a thing of the past”

2006:

The heat wave sweeping Europe is a direct consequence of the warming of the earth’s atmosphere, experts say.

“We are observing and suffering the first effects of global warming,” Hervé Le Treut, meteorologist at the French Centre for Scientific Research told IPS.

2012:

The bitterly cold weather sweeping Britain and the rest of Europe has been linked by scientists with the ice-free seas of the Arctic, where global warming is exerting its greatest influence.

A dramatic loss of sea ice covering the Barents and Kara Seas above northern Russia could explain why a chill Arctic wind has engulfed much of Europe and killed 221 people over the past week.
