Farmers fear that thousands of sheep and cattle have died in the snow that has hit in recent days.

"We are very, very, anxious," said Carolyn Lamb from NFU Scotland, who added that the full toll would not be known until the snow melted.

"There are animals going to die here and are dying; we need help out in the rural areas," said Ms Crawford. ...

Interesting development in the UK. I wonder if the Gulf Stream remains weak for that area. The slightly more extreme weather fluctuations are not caused by mankind, but they are happening and might be more noticeable for people at lower elevations in our US Midwest in 3-6 years.

that only undesrcores the severity of climate change. And it’s all the fault of rich white Americans who own guns.

It's all that civilian (military ammo is made to high air-quality standards, so doesn't count!) ammunition shotted off by rich (is there any other kind?!?) white (Michael Moore says they own 90% of the guns!) male Americans, emitting tonnes of greenhouse gassers ever time some crazed Fudd blasts away at an innocent animal; or nut-job redneck chuteses at an uninvited household intruder.

You hit on something that is very important, this obvious connection of SUVs and GWB voters have to the problem of climate hope and change, for we know the carbon footprint of these subgroups is dastardly high and inherently racist. The list of guilty offenders is indeed long, but one need only connect the dots to see the full picture-- these are unavoidably conservative suspects.

I accept my share of the blame, I have driven an SUV (almost constantly) since they first came on the market in the 70’s and they were called a “crew truck”.

Sometimes I leave the motor running while it is parked in the driveway....... I am VERY evil.
