China Faces Coldest Winter in 40 Years

By Douglas V. Gibbs

As the Climate Change agenda continues to debate how to combat mythical man-made global warming, the planet keeps reminding us how cold it can get.

Heavy snow hit Beijing, grounding 90% of the flights out of Beijing's International Airport, and shutting down much of the highway system.

The Chinese meteorologists are indicating that the snowfall is going to turn heavier, as the temperatures drop further.

Beijing has experienced several falls so far this season, including at least one man-made snowstorm by way of seeding to help ease a prolonged drought. This is being called the coldest winter in 40 years, and one the coldest in over a hundred years.
