Winters in south of China are allegedly getting colder; CO2 blamed

Freezing times south of the heating border - GlobalTimes
The year's winter is predicted to be an extremely cold one, even in the previously warm south of China. Climate change is forcing cold fronts further south every year. Before long, the street will be full of down coats.

Winter in South China is becoming long and cold, and heating becomes an urgent concern. Previously, when winter temperatures in southern cities mostly stayed above zero degrees and there was little snow, people could make do with electric heaters.

But the snowstorms and sudden freezes that plagued the South in 2008 showed people that winter there is no longer that easy to cope with. Maybe it's time for central heating to become standard in the South.
