Alors que
l'ensemble de l'Europe a été marquée ces derniers jours par un épisode
sibérien, le Maghreb a aussi été surpris par de violentes chutes de neiges.
L'Algérie, paralysée en partie ce week-end, déneige lentement les zones
devenues inaccessibles et constate les conséquences des rares intempéries dans
cette région. A Mascara, au nord du pays, la neige a totalement recouvert la
ville le 4 février. © menosultra
Whist we in Scotland have been enjoying spring weather, wandering around town in t-shirts and light jackets, in Algeria there have been falls of snow which have paralysed parts of the country, making it inaccessible. The link takes you to a series of photographs of what is a pretty rare occurrence.
It's global warming. Didn't you believe Al Gore?
ReplyDeleteNo SR. :). He's a politician. I didn't believe him. He doubtless had a money making agenda.
ReplyDeleteWhat I do think is that it is unusual though... the same as the fact that I'm wandering around outside in t-shirts and jeans, and quite a few lads are even in shorts.
I also think it's unusual that in May last year I had to rope down the garden arch because winds were threatening to carry it off, as they were doing with table parasols.
Or that we had 6 weeks last winter when snow lay on the ground...
It's maybe not global warming but it's different.
This is weird weather.
You do know that the notiuon of CLimate Change means that the weather gets screwed, not that we're all slightly warmed?
ReplyDeleteYes Anon. I realise that if the polar ice and the Greenland ice are melting, the strength or force of the Labrador current could have an effect upon the gulf stream. The effect of which might be that warmth and moisture it brings, may move farther south.
ReplyDeleteGlobal climate change could mean Scotland getting very much colder without that warming influence.
But as I've often said, anyone who isn't a climatologist is simply speculating. I'd guess that the climatologist are guessing too...
Every Action has an Equal and Opposite Reaction. Remove highly concentrated CO2 buried underground to then release it into the atmosphere has to have an effect by increasing the tog value restricting the sun's radiated heat from escaping our world.

This winter's temperatures up here are at least 10 degs warmer than what we can expect as normal. I don't know if any of you have noticed how local weather has become more and more localised in that one can drive through rain, dry, rain, dry within a shortening distance. Unusual climatic events were forecast years ago as the climate warmed just like water in a warming saucepan on a hot stove it becomes more and more agitated as it heat up.

ReplyDeleteThis article might not be about snow but it is certainly raining on the unionist parade.

ReplyDeletethat is why it is called weather; it changes all the time.
Always has done and always will do, with or without us.
jeez Niko
ReplyDeleteYou should emigrate to the States, plenty of fundamental nutters there to make you look almost normal.
When is Greece going to jump out of the €; after the next €130 billion probably.
Maybe get a deck chair there soon and less than the Turkish price.
any connections there
Got any connections there, for real?
Good luck to them I say.
Y'see CH, once we start talking in that kind of equations, this bloke here is so completely lost that he's more or less given up the will to live!
ReplyDeleteBut yes. I think you put it far more clearly.
Excellent article Dubs.
ReplyDeleteI think I will keep it and use it.
love the bulldog story... ha ha ha it's head is too big for it to actually exist without help in being born... ace.
Haven't got that list though...
Niko, it's probably Ian Paisley... it sounds like him.
ReplyDeleteYeah Wolfie. I wish we jump out of the pound...

ReplyDeleteThe case for English independence
Thanks Dubs:
ReplyDeleteThey are voting for something that the people of England don't want; they are voting for something that the English medical people don't want. It's damn all to do with them.
I wonder what they hope is that the privatisation will mean that the English government has to spend much less on the NHS in England, so the Consequential for Scotland will be reduced, leaving our proper health service in tatters... and they can blame it on the nationalists.
If it's not the above, there must be another reason for them doing it. They are such a pile of devious right wing crap. Maybe they all bought shares in the companies that will make billions out of the taxpayers....
...or maybe they are trying to persuade Cameron that they would make good Tory MPs at the next election, because Milly and Lamont are so utterly useless that labour will disappear.
These names need publicising...
Aye CH: That's brilliant too....
ReplyDeleteLet's put the link on the other story.
