    Germany will get -20°C next week. Is it like -4° F? They say for weeks. Yikes!

    After a really dry and hot summer it was still too dry and warm till now. The south can't keep up with the snow. They are already talking about floods after the river Rhein was nearly without water this summer. 

    Some people still think everything is ok... :tired_face: 

    Hope it's cooling down soon in Australia!!

    Yes, that's cold! 

    One night, when I was living in western New York State, at around midnight getting out of my car and the temperature, with wind chill factor, was -51 Celsius.   Yes,  negative 51 degrees (minus 60 Fahrenheit).  I couldn't breath the air.  It felt like daggers in my lungs.  I jumped back in the car, took several deep breaths, then held my breath and ran into the building I where I was working grave yard shift.  Brrrrr!

    -51 is insane... i looked up our lowest temp and it was -23 at Charlotte Pass (snowy mountains) in 1994. Sydney usually drops to 10 in winter haha.

    That is cold, wow...I have never experienced it that cold.  Maybe -30, with windchill maybe -35, and that was cold enough. I just hope the homeless folks found a warm spot for the night, around my area the homeless coalition do a good job of making sure that anyone who wants to be inside is inside...

    How would anything survive outside in that weather. We've already had 2 deaths in this heat.

    I have no idea how people survive in those temps outdoors.  But I have seen images from Toronto of people on streets bundled up.  People help out a lot, donating socks, winter footwear, sleeping bags, blankets and warm food.

    I can see that, 50 degrees Celsius is ridiculous.  Thing about the cold, you can always put on more clothes...

    ...and the POTUS is joking about needing some of "that global warming" because it just got cold for the first time those winter. 
    I would bet 100$ he doesn't know that the southern hemisphere is in summer right now.

    If you are hoping the government will solve the climate problem, you will sadly be disappointed.  Here in Canada, only 11% of eligible items get recycled, and that is shipped to Asia and they just burn it...the US was sending their recyclables to China.  This shit was going on long before Trump arrived on the scene.
