Russia is enduring its harshest winter in over 70 years, with temperatures plunging as low as -50 degrees Celsius. Dozens of people have already died, and almost 150 have been hospitalized.
The country has not witnessed such a long cold spell since 1938, meteorologists said, with temperatures 10 to 15 degrees lower than the seasonal norm all over Russia.

How is this possible when the alarmists claim that the Arctic is melting?
I could be wrong but I think we are on track to be one of the coldest winters on record in Fairbanks this winter too. Globull warming my behind!
Warmest December I can Remember here in Austin....I had the AC on last night and my top is STILL off my jeep a week before Christmas....strange weather.
If it supports AGW, such as the mild start to winter here in Northeast Ohio, then it’s significant, serious, and a sign of AGW.
If you’re freezing your tail off in Alaska or Siberia, then it’s just WEATHER, and weather is not climate.
This game is easy to play. Has to be easy or liberals couldn’t do it.
78 here.
It was 18 last week!
It’s like all the cold air tipped off the N. Pole onto them leaving us high and warm.
So sorry Ruskys.

A couple of years ago, I had one of these global warming enthusiasts explain to me that global warming can cause an ice age.
He began citing alot of references from different authorities that I do not care to know.
I just shook my head and walked away.
You cannot reason with those that are locked in to a radical religion like global warming.

Thanks Mark Dayton!
It’s -58 Fahrenheit if you’re used to using that scale. Yikes!
If not can we talk him into going?
They might use him to feed their boilers.
It’s global cooling!! Don’t be a GC denier!
We aren’t pumping enough carbon into the atmosphere to prevent the coming ice age!!
Warm globally, cool locally!
Before the lights go off in our beloved Republic, I will travel to Russia and pay a Russkie to give me a tour of the Kremlin as a thank you to Presient Reagan for gaining us an additional 25 years of freedom.
I had a wife like that.
