So here it is... Let's share our experiences, daily observations as we discover everyday an other part of our earth... February 2008 - China - Shanghai Snow... the city which name means "above water" was under snow... far from prepared for it as the last time this happened (smaller scale) was more than 50 years ago... Around the country, the wave of cold was disastrous and thousands of hundreds were stuck in train stations (most people were leaving for the Chinese New Year), villages had no more water or electricity and the big modern city of Shanghai suddenly slowed down while the road menders were spreading waters on the ice so that it melts (yes...water...). Let you imagine how the roads were on the second day... Discussion is now opened ... so let's share your comments!

I am not sure if I am witnessing global warming here in Bavaria where I live or if it is a conincidence that there has not been much snow this year or last year.

When one mintute its hot and sunny in Alabama and the next it snows does that not tell you something, oh well i will keep trying to do my bit and maybe the people with blinkers will realise eventually. | Mell Mell Post Count: 14176 Msg: #4 650 days ago, February 24th 2008 | The United Nations Environment Programme on Thursday rolled out an Internet-based forum that will let countries and cities swap ideas on how to drastically reduce or offset greenhouse gas emissions. | UN environment group sets up climate neutral forum [Edited: 21:36 - Administration ] Mikey M Mike Meggiato Post Count: 325 Msg: #5 650 days ago, February 24th 2008 | Reducing is a good idea, offsetting is developed countrys way of passing on its burden to undeveloped countrys and therefore not letting this countrys develop....just my 2 cents | Number of Users: 3 | Number of Posts: 5 | |||||||||||||
