The picture in the article shows somone putting snow chains on their car.

Would that not suggest the residents of Barcelona get prepared for snowfall during the winter? Like, they expect snow fall?

I am sure if you asked him now he would admit he got that wrong.

Snowfalls are now just a thing of the past”. According to Dr David Viner, a senior research scientist at the climatic research unit (CRU) of the University of East Anglia, within a few years winter snowfall will become “a very rare and exciting event.

He doesn't say impossible though!

The Scots will get it first.

I think they've already got it.

[Doggy Styles]

Haha. You said 'sheet'.

So I did, tee hee. The Scots will get it first.

Five years ago, this was just some more record breaking freezing cold.

And every summer we get a record breaking heatwave somewhere. The extremes are getting more extreme, the average is going up.

That doesn't rule out record breaking cold snaps any more than Usain Bolt setting a new 100m world record precludes me from taking several days to cover the same distance.

Haha. You said 'sheet'.

Another Ice Age is coming.

Global cooling as we head towards another ice age in about 2million years. In 50 million years there will be no earth anyway. Gauranteed!

I trust you, you spell nice.

Why do you think all this freaky cold weather is happening?

I think you'll find your mistake is to refer to DP and "think" in the same sentence.

Because it's just weather.

It was freezing 100 years ago and it's freezing now.

It's weather. It does that.
