More snow could be on the way tomorrow as temperatures are set to drop even further

Bitter cold and steady snowfall has paralyzed the country’s roads and public transport since yesterday, and the icy cold weather is expected to get even worse over the next couple days.

On the island of Funen up to a metre of snow fell in some places, while in mid-Jutland several snow plows were reported to be stuck.

National train service DSB had delays on nearly all its lines, with delays of up to an hour on some routes. The S-train system and Metro trains serving the Greater Copenhagen area have also experienced considerable delays.

No serious injuries or deaths have been reported so far as a result of the icy weather, however.

National weather centre DMI has forecast temperatures to drop to a chilly minus 6 by tomorrow evening, along with more snow possibly on the way.

Of course, the recent and unexpected blizzard is clearly the result of Global Warming ... as I can prove with my updated computer program and slide rule.

The Manifesto of the Climate Council states:

The story of the link between human
activities, observed global warming, likely future
warming, and the climate effects of this warming, is
becoming ever clearer: our Earth is now heating dangerously.
That the primary cause is human-generated
air pollution is beyond reasonable scientific doubt.

Well, with the recent emails from CRU and increasing evidence that CRU picked out the stations for their models that had warmer readings, Doubt is in the ascendancy.

This meeting is not about climate control, it's about how much the 3rd world can extract from the richer countries.

Hey! regards from California - hope that the blizzard won't stop those jackets signing treaties and treaties - I'm wondering how many Pacific Islanders will slip & fall on the ice and sue the conferrence for mismanagement -

Merry Chrismas -

Not only is mother nature expressing her displeasure with the global warming scam by dumping snow on Copenhagen she is also going to send a message to Obama's hometown by burying it under 15inches of snow in a rare pre-Christmas storm.

An opportunity has been missed. With all the global warming scam artist in one place they should have been rounded up and sent to a labor camp in Siberia.

And I don't think that those 3rd worlders are very happy with the 1st world's tighter purse-strings!

You drudge readers really are severely retarded. "It's snowing in Denmark in December so global warming is fake."

Simply brainless.

In GW "scientist" we have no trust. The GW reps in Copenhagen haven't got a clue of the weather there. They are only concerned about Global Governence (Global Socialism), handouts, money, etc. I live in florida and we had our first freezes in Orlando in 2008 and 2009, since 1998.

Copenhagen's record cold snap is reminiscent of Egypt's plagues...a veritable mocking of what they held near and dear...One may want to research the Maunder Minimum to get a clue as to what might be going o here...that bright object roughly 8 light minutes away has *a lot* to do with the temp of this planet...warm-earther's notwithstanding....you betcha!
