Frozen in denial
Well, it looks as if I've been in denial about Global Warming. Turns out that it's killing people: At least 60 people have died across Europe during the current cold snap, as snow plagued transport in Britain on Friday and serious flooding prompted mass evacuations in the Balkans.I anticipate that there may be cynical doubters and stubborn denialists out there who will say that if people are freezing to death, it's the opposite of warming, but they just don't understand. Freezing is caused by warming! "this shows that the climate is becoming more dynamic, and thus large shifts in the wind patterns are possible - in this case, sub-tropical air being trapped further south than usual."Hey, as any idiot knows, if you put a frog in a pot of water and slowly heat it up, the frog will freeze to death before it realizes it's actually boiling. posted by Eric on 12.04.10 at 02:23 PM

Keep an eye out the next couple months. The ocean temps have been falling like a rock for months and it looks like air temps are finally starting to follow (speaking in terms of their anomaly from mean, not in the absolute sense). 2010 is currently tied with 1998 for the hottest year according to UAH satellite data, but it looks like it's been below 2009 so far this month.
