The insurance company Munich Re has been collecting and analyzing natural hazards and losses worldwide for more than 35 years. It has accumulated a database of over 30,000 events. At the 2011 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Durban, South Africa, Munich Re made the following statement "The number of major weather-related natural catastrophes has almost tripled since 1980. The number of flood loss events has gone up by a factor of more than three, and the number of windstorm natural catastrophes has more than doubled."

NASA GISS recently released its figure for all of 2011. The year was the ninth warmest on record according to its analysis. Meanwhile, HadCRUT3 and NOAA NCDC listed this past year as the eleventh warmest on record.

Snow blocks in tens of thousands as cold death toll rises

Expatica 11 February 2012
Snow drifts reaching up to rooftops kept tens of thousands of villagers prisoners in their own homes Saturday as the death toll from Europe's big freeze rose past 550.
More heavy snow fell on the Balkans and in Italy, while the Danube river, already closed to shipping for hundreds of kilometres (miles) because of thick ice, froze over in Bulgaria for the first time in 27 years
Meteorologists in Belgium said the country had recorded its longest cold snap in 70 years, with temperatures in Brussels' suburbs remaining below zero for 13 consecutive days.

@RandomVersion- In contrast, mild air moved over the North Atlantic northwards over Iceland up to the Arctic region. The
temperature in Svalbard, far north in the Arctic, reached repeatedly up to 5°C in recent days, more th an in
Milano (Italy) or in Istanbul (Turkey). Much of North America has also been unusually warm.
Part of the explanation is the the so-called Arctic Oscillation which is the difference in pressure between
Polar areas and mid-latitude areas (where most of the population in Europe lives). At the moment there is a
negative Arctic Oscillation, which favors cold conditions in Europe and relatively warmer conditions in the
Arctic.
