The potential cooling of global warming


The potential cooling of global warming - TwinCities.com
The 2008 winter was the coldest in 40 years — for the upper Midwest, the Plains States and most of Canada. Minnesota newspapers report that this year's opening of the locks to Mississippi barge traffic, delayed three weeks, was the latest since the modern waterway opened in 1940. Eau Claire, where 'old-fashioned winters' have been a thing of the past, recorded 43 days of below-zero temperatures.

Rare snowfalls struck Buenos Aires, Cape Town, and Sydney during their mid-year winter, while China continually battled blizzards. Even Baghdad experienced measurable snowfall.

Antarctic pack-ice far exceeded what Captain Cook saw on his 18th-century voyage into the Southern Ocean.
