CO2 Shortage Turns Lethal in Europe
Since warmth is caused by human CO2 emissions, there must be a severe shortage in Europe, where people are dying from the cold:
A cold wave claimed seven more lives in Poland and one casualty in Belgium as temperatures across Europe plunged below freezing overnight in what weather officials Wednesday dubbed the coldest night of winter. …
Temperatures in Poland dropped as low as minus 25 degrees Celsius (minus 13 degrees Fahrenheit). According to Interior Ministry data, hypothermia has been blamed for 76 deaths in Poland since November 2008. A Belgian man, in his 30s, also froze to death overnight Tuesday according to police as temperatures plunged to minus 20 degrees Celsius, the country's coldest snap for 10 years. …
The French weather service called it "the coldest night of winter" so far with temperatures ranging for minus nine degrees Celsius in Paris — the coldest since 1997 — and minus 20 degrees Celsius in the northern Ardennes region.
The rare sight of snow was seen in the southern Mediterranean port of Marseille, closing the local airport and leaving some 12,000 households in the region without electricity. … Demand for power for heating throughout France has soared and raised the risk of power cuts, especially in Brittany and the southeast.
Careful with that power generation; it's a major source of greenhouse gas emissions.
In Germany, where earlier this week a 77-year-old mentally ill woman froze to death, temperatures plummeted overnight with many areas recording record lows. The coldest place was Dippoldiswalde-Reinberg near Dresden in the east where the mercury plunged to minus 27.7 degrees Celsius (minus four degrees Fahrenheit) during the night.
This might be a good time for everyone in Europe to pass gas, hyperventilate, and leave their engines running until the CO2 makes it warm up.
But I'm forgetting, only dummies don't believe the liberal establishment that cold is caused by global warming.

Well, Russia is doing its part to stop Global Warming, it's cutting off gas supplies to Europe. I guess Putin is envious of Gore's Nobel Prize.

Heard on the radio news today, Fox News, that either it's up state Alaska or interiorn Alaska has been experiencing -60 degree temps for the past week or two. Did I hear this correctly?
By the way I haven't heard much out of Al Gore lately. Must be to cold for him to come out and play.

CO2 is EVIL! From now on I will only breath in good old American Oxygen and will never exhale that evil CO2. As a further step I will make it my life's mission to cork my a-hole so that I don't further polute the precious environment. I have to go now, my CPUSA meeting is getting under way.
