Easy solution to the freezing Afghans crisis - - fly them all to Davos - - on private jets.
The only place where it's cold in Davos - - is the ice cubes under the shrimp and lobster buffet.

The high here in the middle of the country is predicted to be 9 on Sunday. Just think how cold it would be without this global warming!

Live in the 9th century, die like in the 9th century. Remember, that's what they plan for all of us.

This could become a reality in the good 'ol USA in the next 5-10 years as the sun continues to sink into a decade or three slumber, or a Grand Solar Minimum (GSM). Apparently the Solar Constant used in calculations ain't constant enough to prevent general cooling, if not a sudden drop in temperatures over most of the planet.
The deaths that will happen with this cooling will likely be many times more than what they would've been without the meddling of the greenie-weenie cabal (bedwetters all), the globalists swine, grand solar idiots like alboor, lurch and the "eminent" James Hansen (who has been wrong more often?) with their grandly delusional machinations consisting of wind turbines and electric everything, not to mention fairy dust and unicorn farts.
Hopefully everyone will remember the folks listed above, amongst others, if this cooling does come about, and they receive their just deserts.

I'm always skeptical of weather deaths. So many have died in the flood, that many in the hurricane, and there are deaths in the cold. Well, news media gotta have drama.

This wouldn't have happened if the Afghans had more Hummers and SUVs to drive their temperature up.

Can we lose the carbon monoxide deaths from weather related? They are invariably ignorance and poorly designed and executed combustion. Don't run the generator in the living room.

The solution to this is to get off fossil fuels entirely. Problem solved!
In all seriousness, if they follow through on the elimination of fossil fuels, there would be millions of deaths in poor countries.

Carbon monoxide poisoning. When we lived in the CA high desert decades ago, there were multiple casualties almost every winter. Using BBQs etc for heat, windows taped shut.

Many are cold, few are frozen.

Is there a global cold wave on the way? Did IPCC misunderstand climate? Those investing in global warming have a billion-dollar reason to lie about it and plenty of blankets in case it happens. But. Many others would like the question examined.
