Nope. Its just cyclic weather. Sorry.. no doomsday coming real soon.. sorry to sadden the armageddonists,
Im old enough to recall when weather flip flopped in the past. Widen your time view.. not just this last little 30 years or so. Weather does its thing all the time throughout recorded weather history. I see chicken littles screaming about the cold around my area. Laughable really. This exact weather and MUCH worse cold was in this area when I was a kid. We had snow on thanksgiving routinely.... then it warmed up for a while.. "normal" goofy weather patterns.. then we have more cold now. WOW.. not real scary if you think about it.
Many scientists use the climate year, which runs from December of the preceding year to November of the current year, to evaluate long-term climate trends. The combined land-ocean temperature readings NASA's Goddard Institute posted Friday indicate that 2010 has surpassed what it identified as the previous warmest climate year, 2005.

Personally I think we are going to experiance a "day after tomorrow" mini ice age. Bt this one will be caused by the effects of the BP oil spill on the gulf stream. This was planned for some time and will kill off most of the population via hunger and frost bite. The ones left will be so weak and beaten that they will do whatever TPTB tell them. They will be docile and easy to control under a one world gov once the mainstream boarders and policeys fade into the white snow.
How do I know this?
1) Science shows the gulf is the engine of the streams warm north drift.
2) The BP spill was staged. "Hallaberton is connected with the cement that failed and they bought boots and coots 11 days prior" "Boots and Coots is the largest oil clean up companie used in the 1st gulf war".
3) The queen herself owns a fallout shelter in denver in the area of NORAD and the denver aiport.
4) The gulf stream stalled outwards into the open sea and imediatlly we see effects of the cold rushing the UK.
5) The UK primarly gets snow thats washed away by rain due to warm water from the stream. This stall has cut the warmth down greatly and the rains are not coming on strong enogh or long enogh.
Personally I think It will take some time but the full stall should happen in 2 years. This will increase the snow in the north and reflext the suns warmth away instead of absorbing it. From there only god knows how long it will take to correct itself and how many will be left to see the snow melt.

I can understand this logic but do you have proof that the north atlatic current was weakened durring these periods? This fact alone makes todays cold more of an alert than prior years. The gulf stream has stalled and then BAM the cold hits hard. It did not hit last year and then stalled in june no, it stalled in June and the cold hit ASAP. This is the cause and effect we are looking at this is why it is of topic.
The prevailing theory holds that the Younger Dryas was caused by a significant reduction or shutdown of the North Atlantic thermohaline circulation in response to a sudden influx of fresh water from Lake Agassiz and deglaciation in North America...

That has been proven false.. regardless of what Jesse Ventura and Alex jones claimed. I believe there is a thread dealing with this on here somewhere. Hard science versus pseudo-science and fear mongering.
A shut down of the Meridional overturning circulation would suddenly decrease the amount of heat in the North Atlantic, leading to much colder temperatures in Europe and North America. A 2003 report prepared for the Department of Defense outlines what would happen if an abrupt climatic change similar to the 8200 years before present event were to recur today:
~ Annual average temperatures would drop up to 5° F in North America, and up to 6° F in northern Europe. This is not sufficient to trigger an ice age, which requires about a 10° F drop in temperature world-wide, but could bring about conditions like experienced in 1816--the famed "year without a summer". In that year, volcanic ash from the mighty Tambora volcanic eruption in Indonesia blocked the sun's rays, significantly cooling the globe. Snow fell in New England in June, and killing frosts in July and August caused widespread crop failures and famine in New England and northern Europe.
~ Annual average temperatures would warm up to 4° F in many areas of the Southern Hemisphere.
~ Multi-year droughts in regions unaccustomed to drought would affect critical agricultural and water resource regions world-wide, greatly straining food and water supplies.
~ Winter storms and winds would strengthen over North America and Europe.

Well technically Britian is covered in WATER,, (relates to some prophesy or vision ie Day Ater Tomorrow style),,and
It could be good old Earth Style payback for gulf fiasco after all the shareholders are in the majority British subjects.
Cause who ever controls the Gas and Electric are gonna make a killing one way or another.
Kind of sad really lets hopes that once agin the poor are gonna be shafted first ie rate hikes,, opps already done that .. so sad.
Maybe they will head for Buckingham Palace too stay warm,, no wait Queen already applied for Welfare Heating, so maybe they won't be warm either.
Could be those kids that smashed Cammila and Charles Rolls Royce were just trying to stay warm??? lol

No.. the scenario playing out as some here claim. As if the BP tragedy is the one and only factor that can cause an ice age. It is simply untrue. The conveyor stalls and is interrupted periodically.. manmade or natural. It effects our weather. It is NOT what is being claimed .....that this alone can cause a "day after tomorrow" scenario.

If there ever is a extinction event or a true ice age, you can bet that someone out there will be looking toward a way to make money off of it Id not put it past anyone to engineer it in a way to happen to make money.
