Global Warming? Snow in Saudi Arabia...

Northern regions of Saudi Arabia have been hit by the second cold spell this winter, the Al-Watan daily said on Wednesday.

This winter is said to be the coldest in Saudi Arabia in 30 years.

Temperatures in northern and northwestern parts of the country plunged to -5 degrees Centigrade (23 Fahrenheit) with bitterly cold winds raging at speeds of 60 km/ph (37 m/ph). Local residents are staying indoors whenever possible amid fears of hypothermia.

Saudi authorities and charity organizations are delivering heaters, fuel, blankets, warm clothes and food to people affected by the cold snap.

Weather forecasters say the freeze is set to continue until Friday.

In mid-January, unusually cold weather smashed decades-old records in Saudi Arabia where temperatures reached a record low of -6 degree Centigrade (21.2 degree Fahrenheit), freezing water pipes and closing schools and other facilities.

If it's hot, they blame it on "global warming".

It it's too cold, they now call it "climate change".

Either way, they want more money from us.

@ treasure1072004.... honestly who asked you for your 2 cents, people have opinions and you come in and bash people cause they are wrong or off... unless some one specifically asks for your input, I'd just shut the fuck up you nerd...

I won't be impressed until I see some glaciation! Damn it! Where are the freakin' glaciers at??? I want some glaciers to scrape off the liberal North East into the Atlantic. That would be something!

@SteelBeWithYou Also, global climate change (not global warming!) is science not politics. The fact that you use terms like 'global warming zombies' and 'fucking libs' just proves that you are not a real scientist. I have actually read climatology periodicals which is more than I can say for you....'uneducated neanderthal'.

@SteelBeWithYou I hate tofu and I don't hug rainbows. I am educated, I have taken a course in climatology, although that is not my field. However, I have many friends and acquaintances who are actual real live scientists, unlike you. My brother-in-law is a government biologist who as attends world wide global climate change symposiums with other real live scientists.

@skoookum We're not talking about a glass of water, retard. And if you think that equating the field of climatology is comparable to a glass of water....you should probably stop offering your opinion on global climate change and accept the fact that you are not the power house intellectual of the universe.

[treasure1072004]

@SteelBeWithYou You are lying. Because if you DID look through the geological record, you would not be saying that. I know a lot of scientists and they are not concerned about money right now....they are concerned about THEIR CHILDREN! Just because you are anonymous on youtube does not mean that people are going to buy your bogus credentials.

Reading these comments by climate change deniers is sooooo enlightening. It's amazing how much these non-scientists know compared to all the world's scientists. I mean obviously biznobs and oilmen know waaaay more about climatology and geology than actualy scientists know. Why should we believe those money grubbing scientists! They're only in it for themselves......for the money,....right?!

How bad for suicide bombers! How can they train in such cold?
