Monkeys go happy with wine

Some like it hot, especially when it’s bitter cold outside. Monkeys at the zoo in the former Soviet Republic of Kazakhstan have been ‘rewarded’ with… mulled wine in their high-energy diet to help them fight the cold.

The wave of frost that has rolled over Eastern Europe has carried away hundreds of lives, paralyzed road traffic, and pushed the cost of heating homes and offices sky-high.

There are theories that the ´global warming´ actually in certain intervals will produce an opposite effect - extreme cold, and is perhaps what we witness now. Governments have to start take recursion measures making sure people are sheltered in warm housings.

Obviously a CIA - Zionist plot!

Am I doing it right?

I am not saying you´re doing right, but figure it out for yourself seem you brought it up:

 

In 1997, US Defense Secretary William Cohen admitted Pentagon’s environmental warfare specialists were intensifying efforts to alter climate, set off earthquakes, volcanoes remotely through the use of electromagnetic waves. Media failed to report THIS MOST IMPORTANT OF STORIES. Why? The western media have consistently refused to discuss the giant ionospheric heater in Alaska, High-frequency Active Auroral Research Programme (HAARP), which has been condemned by the European Parliament for its “manipulation of global weather patterns”, making it a serious threat to the environment.

@Rick Roll, here is more on the subject... just that you remainded me of the subject checked my old files:

Today, British-financed & armed Indian Army is being used to clear populations to make way for multinational corporations & extractive industries (as Arundhati Roy & others have documented). Same is true in Colombia & Bolivia, where US mercenary firms such as Blackwater & DynCorp are employed to spray chemicals on the populations under a counter-narcotics pretext. But this technique is messy, PR-unfriendly, & has led to massive resistance. A cheaper alternative is to drive the people out with extreme weather which, as a US Air Force document subtitled “Owning the Weather” recommended.

People can then be forced into what the UN calls “habitat areas.” The electromagnetic waves mentioned by Cohen & pulsed in order to achieve this, are created by HAARP & similar ionospheric heaters. The HAARP monstrosity is a 40-acre array antenna, designed & built with US TAXPAYER money. HAARP is a 180-anntenna array which pulses 4.5 billion watts into the polar regions giving it the ability to disrupt the Jet Stream, thereby enabling the machine to cause droughts and floods. This is all in VIOLATION of the UN’s ENMOD Convention (1977), which sought to prevent this kind of behaviour.

A SPACECAST 2020 paper advocated modifying ionosphere through insertion of gaseous compounds which can also be enhanced by shooting a high energy laser, microwave, or particle beam, having a jamming effect on the "enemy’s" radiowave propagation. This gives the Pentagon Full Spectrum Dominance over communications. According to Russia Today (November 24 2011), America’s research facility in Alaska has been interfering with Russia’s Mars probe, suggesting that HAARP is one of the many ground-based apparatus involved in the weaponization of space.

Weather weapons & earthquake bombs are a fraction of America’s commitment to achieving Full Spectrum Dominance by 2020. We need to be responsible & realise that taxes have paid for decades of this (evil) secret research. We need to show the courage of Chavez and Ahmadenijad & speak out against this—particularly those journalists and academics who have access to public platforms AND YET ARE KEEPING QUIET.

You know everyone on RT is obsessed with Zionism when they think something like this is made by the CIA.
Really guys? Really?
I'm an American and I hope you guys do better over there in Russia, stay warm!

Think Egg shaped.. use that as orbits by all the planets in the solar system. now at the very tip of the furthest orbits place all the planets all pulling at the earth on its orbit. This will give increase in earthquakes, and Global winters and extreme summers.

Dear Stoops:
Actually, it is we Americans who are obsessed with zionism; we do everything possible to keep those criminals in power.

@Eurasian:  Yes, we have both the earthquake machine and the cold weather machine, that we reverse engineered off this downed aircraft from back in the day.  It is all our fault.

re: my dear American fella, IT IS NOT your fault, BUT of the people own your life …the very same people killed millions and are planning about to kill billions. WHY you say “we”? Are you one of them??

That is pretty damned cold, and for a rather long period of time (30 days+).  Please, those of you thus affected -- be careful, stay bundled up, keep warm, and avoid excessive amounts of alcohol unless you are burning it instead of drinking it.

Disclaimer:  As a youth, I spent a few years in the Northern USA, and had a record cold front sweep through the region one winter when the temperatures dropped to minus 42 degrees (Fahrenheit, not Celsius) for a day.  I went out in it just to experience it for myself, and it was pretty bloody cold.  These temperatures are quite a bit worse.

The article is wrong about Moscow hitting a record low in the last 60 years. Search Wikipedia for "Moscow Climate" and you'll find that since 1948, the record low was -36.6. Much colder than now.

      This just means that the polar vortex, which shifts around from winter to winter, is over on the Eurasian side this year. It`s been a very warm, easy winter in Canada so far. David762: It is almost irrelevant to say whether minus 42 degrees is Fahrenheit or Celsius since the two scales intersect and represent the same temperature at minus 40.

      Some may say, perhaps correctly, that weather talk is frivolous. However, I would point out that according to some memoirs, at Richard Nixon`s first historic meeting with Mao Tse-tung, the only thing the two of them talked about for over an hour was the weather.

Thanks for the gentle reminder to check conversion tables.  It's been a rather long time since middle school.  The weather phenomena attributed to that cold snap is, IIRC, called the "Alberta Clipper".  Of course, it is the duration of the cold snap which becomes dangerous, along with the wind chill factor.



I remember being amazed at accounts of truckers in Siberia who kept their diesel engines running continuously to keep their engine blocks from cracking due to frozen coolant.  Week-long winter camping trips in 2 feet of snow were memorable.  White-tail deer practically levitate to run in deep snow.  And mistakes in attention to detail could quickly become dangerous, even deadly.

@Stoops, thank you for the well-wishing!

And no, we are not obsessed with Zionism, we are only well alert towards the American obsession with Zionism.
