Dontcha' Love It?

Didn't we just have a conference on how to save ourselves from a planet that is overheating??


This, on this morning's news.


Meanwhile, subzero temperatures shut down the Eurostar train service between Britain and France, overnight, stranding 2,000 travellers in the tunnel under the English Channel.
Passengers finally arrived in London 10 hours late after being stuck on board trains overnight with no heat or electricity and dwindling supplies of food and water. Many of them were evacuated on foot through tunnels, while diesel trains pushed the Eurostar trains back into stations. Train service is suspended and the service isn't expected to resume for a few days.
Hundreds of flights for Saturday and Sunday have been cancelled across Europe due to expected overnight snowstorms.
Up to 30 per cent of flights scheduled to depart from Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris have been cancelled, and Montenegro's main airport near Podgorica was completely closed due to snow and reduced visibility.
Britons were cleaning up from a rare snowfall which left up to 15 cm of snow on the ground Friday. England usually sees wet winters, and rarely gets snow.
