-Signs, Portents, and the Weather-
What Global Warming? Massive Winter Storm From Lebanon To Egypt
2015-02-12
Violent winds, rain, snow, and dust storms hurt people, break things, cause power outages according to these reports from the region:
Powerful Storm 'Yohan' Causes Extensive Damage across Lebanon

Sandstorm Lashes Middle East, Halting Suez Traffic

Rain, snow and wind gusts slam Israel
Power outages and injuries from fallen trees and lamp posts reported as snow piles up in upper Galilee and northern Golan Heights on Wednesday afternoon, rain hits from northern border to southern city of Be'er Sheva.
No doubt all this weather has had an impact on motivation to go a-jihading, especially as it's the second major storm of the season.

#5  Yuuup.

Out here in GUAM-WESTPAC an unusually cold Polar Vortex is blowing + is showing no sign of letting up, at least for this weekend.

OTOH may be an opportune time to light up a few romantic candles for Valentine's Day.

#4  #2 I'll bet this will be counted as another warmest year on record.

This is serious stuff, gorb. Last year was 0.02 C warmer than the previous. In a hundred years, that makes 2C which would make the current local temp -10C rather than -12C. In 10,000 years, the oceans will be boiling. Unless the next Ice Age comes along, in which case we'll all be boned.

What? Error bars? Just shutup.

#1  Gives you time to find the Mahadis well and bomb it. Separate Iran from Syria.

Or, not.
