From the “weather is not climate” department, it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas…
Hey, where is everybody?
In related news, global warming protesters are gathering in large numbers…

Ironic headline of the decade:
Blizzard Dumps Snow on Copenhagen as Leaders Battle Warming
By Christian Wienberg in Bloomberg News
Dec. 17 (Bloomberg) — World leaders flying into Copenhagen today to discuss a solution to global warming will first face freezing weather as a blizzard dumped 10 centimeters (4 inches) of snow on the Danish capital overnight.
“Temperatures will stay low at least the next three days,” Henning Gisseloe, an official at Denmark’s Meteorological Institute, said today by telephone, forecasting more snow in coming days. “There’s a good chance of a white Christmas.”
Delegates from 193 countries have been in Copenhagen since Dec. 7 to discuss how to fund global greenhouse gas emission cuts. U.S. President Barack Obama will arrive before the summit is scheduled to end tomorrow.
Denmark has a maritime climate and milder winters than its Scandinavian neighbors. It hasn’t had a white Christmas for 14 years, under the DMI’s definition, and only had seven last century. Temperatures today fell as low as minus 4 Celsius (25 Fahrenheit).
DMI defines a white Christmas as 90 percent of the country being covered by at least 2 centimeters of snow on the afternoon of Dec. 24.
=====================
While I’ve never put much faith in his forecasts due to the overhyped way he presents them, in this case Piers Corbyn was right. See his November 30th forecast for Copenhagen here.
While his main start of snow was a bit late, he predicted then:
14th-16/17th Dec will have more snow showers which will turn heavy with biting cold winds.

Global warming in Denmark – Snowstorms causing havoc across the country while the end of United Nations Climate Change Conference COP15 in Copenhagen is drawing near. Video footage and photos from Odense in Denmark December 16th 2009, showing evidence of a lot of snow and “climate change”, or let´s say “global cooling”.
The winter came at a very comfortable time and place, like ClimateGate came just in time….
Pray for more snow.

This is for all the delegates. Make sure y’all listen while holding that, um…, niece, yeah that’s what she is, close to you.

So, the US is promising $100 billion to “developing” countries for a climate deal!
Let’s see, the government of the US of A will have to borrow that money from the Chinese and then give it back to them. This isn’t very smart, if you Yanks don’t mind this Canadian saying.
[Political side bar] When is your current government going to wake up to the fact that the US is broke and throwing money around willy-nilly is dumb[/Political side bar]
It is NOT THEIR MONEY so why should they care if they rob the rest of us blind. Thanks to the Money Lenders a USA $50 gold coin is now worth over $1100. That means the current US dollar is now worth $0.045 and the feds ended up with the other $0.95 thanks to the federal Reserve act of 1913, inflation and no gold standard. Oh yes we get to pay state, local and federal taxes out of the $0.045 they left us….

“That looks like another bear to me… but the same idea.”
Since BA every day misdirects up to 4000 peaces of luggage a day (well over a million pieces a year), I would not be surprised at anything (but this time it was not meant to be taken seriously). Anyway, we have kind of Norwegian weather this morning in the London suburbs. BTW thanks for the Christmas tree.

Natural gas, garbage, straw for the decentral plants.
Rotten snow, eh? (Robert) Let’s define that:
Rotten ice: Normal natural winter ice that AGW activists believe isn’t there.
Rotten snow: Normal natural white snow that AGW activists can’t see.
Any suggestions for more things rotten? (man,case,town,boat …?)
Tynset in Norway today: minus 35,4 degrees Celsius.

The entire program is pure warmist propaganda and contains nothing but bias, half-truths, fudge and outrageous lies.
I am actually legally obliged to fund this poisonous bilge. Apologies if this has already been brought up on another thread.
I haven’t had a television for about 15 years now. There is a way to stop funding the bilge.
Merry Christmas to Knott Enders. (Better than Eastenders)

Piers Corbyn is a jolly good fellow.
Three times.
No one can deny.
Paragraph.
“From the “weather is not climate” department, it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas…”
Yep. December avarage temperature finally dipped to below normal after those hot first two weeks. After ten warm months in a row, with the eighteenth year since 1988 filling warmest 1-18 places of the meteorological record (2009 a number 4 or 5).
