Freeze! Thaw! No, Freeze! No, Thaw!

Check out what Kobayashi Maru has to say about the global warming, er freezing trend.

Wednesday: “The four hottest years on record [in Europe] were 1998, 2002, 2003 and 2004. Ten percent of Alpine glaciers disappeared during the summer of 2003 alone. At current rates, three quarters of Switzerland’s glaciers will have melted by 2050.” [emphasis added]

Thursday: “The ocean current that gives western Europe its relatively balmy climate is stuttering, raising fears that it might fail entirely and plunge the continent into a mini ice age.” [emphasis added]

Via Pamela, who is guest blogging over at LBC.

Seitel has more here (via this post). And Don Singleton agrees that Europe has more pressing problems than freezing or thawing.

(I almost filed this post under the “science” tag and then thought better of it.)
