It’s official, coldest winter in 130 years in Ireland - SEE PHOTOS

I think the "global" warming is caused from all the hot air expelled from our politicians !!!

ciarrai "Yeah, jdi2269 (that doesn't sound Irish), just because you and geniuses like you have fixated on the term "global warming" and Ireland is having a terribly cold spell, Al Gore should humble himself and admit that he blew it... Any idiot can see that man has had a negative effect on planet Earth." Yes, another hate sprewing speech from a typical enlightened, tolerant, peace loving, stuck on mantra, brainwashed, Fox bashing Liberal. Isn't that basically what you said to jdi2269, only on the liberal side? Now that really contributed to a good discussion and you felt so much more superior, didn't you? You have performed your marching orders well in lock step! Hate did not come into this discussion until you. Can't you have an intelligent discussion without hate, demagoguery and putting someone down? Science and Man is ever questioning which is why we are not in caves.

Greenland was once a green and fertile land -before centuries of global cooling ending in circa 1750 iced it over.Now after a few centuries of natural global warming we are entering a natural cooling cycle-climate change is normal,don`t panic,the world didn`t end in 2000 either.

Global warming -the biggest scam ever.

DON'T TELL AL GORE !!!!

I'm sure there there may be some warming in parts of the world due to vehicle and industrial exhausts, however the arctic (cannot speak for the antartic)ice is not going away. The Greenland Ice Cap may show some retraction in some areas, but that is due to wind direction and moisture. The temperature in West Greenland has not risen in the past decade. The reason for slightly warmer temperatures there, is because of the West Greenland current, which ias an appendage of the Gulf Stream. Showing Ice breaking off the glacier in May is something that happens every year for the past two thousand years. It makes good promo for scientific grants, and other ulterior motives for governments that want to get a piece of Greenland. I'm in Greenland every year (11 of the past 13). Another fallacy about the ice cap melting. " coastal areas will be twenty feet under water" If the entire Greenland Ice Cap melted, it would raise the level of the worlds oceans approxamately seven to eight inches

All snow gone in Cork..yayyy!!!

Everybody complains about the weather but nobody does anything about it.

DUBLIN OUTSIDE my windows is a hard slush -3 C brownish and not pretty at all.We have no available footware accessories in the shops. AGAIN this year and the thaw soon we won't be prepared for that either.Whatever it is we are rarely prepared for it.

NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies is hardly the bible on Global Warming. Its director, James Hanson is nothing more than a self promoting charlatan making mega-bucks pushing this hoax on the world with his buddy Al Gore. In another life he was probably a used car salesman. Let’s see, since we once banned the alleged source of global cooling, CFC’s and now witness the alleged rise in global temps due to HFC’s, perhaps the silver bullet in forever stabilizing our planet is an equal combination of both CFC’s and HFC’s…..with a little extra dash of either one where necessary.

It might be the gombeens in bp but that's not certain yet but a good guess anyway.

GREAT PHOTO of the Polar Bear on his way to An Dail to pick up some extra blubber.

haikued2 you are always a voice of moderation and sanity on this board. One thing that has always given me pause about global warming/climate change alarmists' claims is this: If the earth was in an ice age (the last of 5 such periods) 20,000 years ago, have we not had continual global warming/climate change since then. The internal combustion engine (allegedly a climate change catalyst) was not mass produced till the late 19th century, so blaming it as a cause of climate change appears specious at best.

"Coldest Winter in 130 Years" is a very misleading headline. Poor ediorial skills.

It may be snowing and cold in most places but where I like in Texas we are in drought condition and sure could use some of the snow and rain.
