-138 Freaking Degrees?!?

Instantaneous Ice.

12 degrees colder than it ever has been before this year.

WTF? How does it get that cold?

Surely, it must be Global Warming:

WASHINGTON (AP) — Feeling chilly? Here's cold comfort: You could be in East Antarctica which new data says set a record for "soul-crushing" cold. 
Try 135.8 degrees Fahrenheit below zero; that's 93.2 degrees below zero Celsius, which sounds only slightly toastier. Better yet, don't try it. That's so cold scientists say it hurts to breathe. 
A new look at NASA satellite data revealed that Earth set a new record for coldest temperature recorded. It happened in August 2010 when it hit -135.8 degrees. Then on July 31 of this year, it came close again: -135.3 degrees. 
The old record had been -128.6 degrees, which is -89.2 degrees Celsius. 
Ice scientist Ted Scambos at the National Snow and Ice Data Center said the new record is "50 degrees colder than anything that has ever been seen in Alaska or Siberia or certainly North Dakota." 
"It's more like you'd see on Mars ..."

The ice age comes in cycles. What really get's me is, people are complaining about the temperatures getting warmer, that it could stop the ice age.

Hello? How do people think we humans will be able to handle the ice age this time? We are not the same people that were around during the last one. Hell, we freak out and wipe out the stores when a hurricane is coming.

More then half of the US will be unlivable. Where do they think those people will go?

As far as this story is concerned. I wonder what excuse the global warming people will come up with for this.

All roads lead to Global Warming.

You just have to take a detour through the intellectual cul de sac of Climate Change.
