Why is so cold everywhere in the world! Are we experiencing a small Ice Age?

It was said that due to some sort of upcoming inactivity with the sun we may have a mini ice age, but we haven't reached that point yet.

P.S The weather in most parts of Australia has been crappy lately.

Don't worry, I remember the last two weeks in February 2012 were a real scorcher, you will perhaps feel compelled to even write a thread titled " Global warming. why is it so hot ? "

Yeah I know that very well, all those floods and fires make my life a living hell!!!

Its spring in January here is northern Illinois.

So no.

No mini Ice age.

Well it is interesting to see this thread on the same Fragile Earth main page. I read we were entering a solar minimum last year and now we hear of increased solar activity. No one really knows what will happen weather wise. Weather forecasters have a great job. They guess and BS most of the time to suit their own agendas.

Nonsense, this has been the mildest winter in the UK for several years...

Let's not jump to conclusions about the cold weather. Here on the East coast yesterday near Philly, it was almost tropical (65 degrees) and my gardens are budding. But I know it's just a tease. After all it is still winter in the northern hemisphere.

oh for crying out loud OP. stop fear mongering and do some reading, it's called winter!

next it will be spring, then summer... then guess what, it will be winter again.

this is the mildest winter in pittsburgh i can remember, been really nice

It was 60 degrees F here in Philadelphia yesterday. Not sure what you mean by the whole world.

I'm almost 26 and this is the warmest winter I've ever experienced. It was 60F in Pittsburgh yesterday. Never seen anything like it. I hear the cold is being trapped in the Canadian north and Alaska, so they're going out of their minds with cold. -80F in Alaska!!!!!!

Aren't you the same "insert word to denote mental instability" who posted that people could not get beyond a "certain" distance from the earth a few days ago?

IT IS CALLED WINTER.....comes around every year, DUH!

I live in Texas, it's our winter. We had a full week of warmer temperatures. Just the other day, the highest it reached was 72 degrees and the lowest at night was around 40. It's warmer than it should be here, so I would say no, to your question.

I had to turn my AIR CONDITIONING on in East Texas last night because it was too HOT in my house (78ish). So, no ice age here, friend.

It has been a very warm winter overall in my neck of the woods.

Cheers,
Cody

we ve had -20c daytime / -30c night time for the past 2 weeks and its called a normal winter

ps . i live by the arctic circle and its a wonderful sight

It's been 60 + here in southern Kansas for over a month now, no winter for us.... We have a chance of sever storms tonight into tomorrow too, and its still over a month until severe season starts. It may be climate change, but not toward an Ice Age...atleast not here lol.

It's warm where I live.

Has been all year. 60 degrees in January and February. Usually it's about 30.
