This will be a great debunker for PROOF OF GLOBAL WARMING

Who what a sight.

I saw this picture before if I am correct it came from the movie The day after tomorrow

Only now it's reallife. Really Remarkable I hope this is able to make a impact.

Like you said seek10 I agree this is a great debunker concerning Global Warming.

Thanks for the pic Ellipse.

There are amazing composite satellite images at http://www.flashearth.com/. They feature zoom and click and drag to quickly see the extent of the bitter winter griping the Northern Hemisphere above 40 N latitude.

Thank God for global warming! ;)

Astounding contrast!

(very nice photo, Nomad!)

The thing is, the recent cold and snow CAN be evidence of a heating of the planet in certain areas. There is the well-known "melting of arctic ice leading to a cooling of the gulf stream leading to a mini ice age". This is what the mainstream pundits are claiming. The real bone of contention is whether or not this heating-leading to colder weather in parts and hotter weather in others is due to the burning of oil etc i.e. man-made, or whether it is part of a natural cycle that the planet has always gone through.

That's a great image thingy. Nearly the whole planet is blanketed with clouds and storms.

Well unlike the most of Europe, we are having real spring weather here, yesterday midday it was around 25 degrees, nice and sunny. This is totally unusual January weather even for Malta.

I was recently visiting Balkans, within one week the temperature went from -2 to +17 and then back to around zero.

Yeah, my parents in Portugal said they had Summer almost until December, which is highly unusual as well. As for me, it is pretty darn cold here in Britain yes, I'm wearing scarf, robe on top of a woollen sweater, and fingerless gloves as I write this!
