To the Horror of Global Warming Alarmists, Global Cooling Is Here - Forbes

But don't worry, the ice age that is coming will last no more than 250 years.

How well do these new fangled anti-carbon windmills work in temperatures of -20?

Solar powered data centres at the poles.

Free cooling, lots of solar energy.

Sorted.

Iceland were touting themselves as Europe's data centre. Lots of carbon neutral geo-thermal energy for power, and lots of natural cold for cooling. Whatever happened to that?
