Global warming kills

Damn that Bush and his stubborn refusal to sign the Kyoto treaty! How many more must die in this unseasonable heat wave or from rising ocean waters before you see fit to sign--wait, what's that?

MOSCOW -- The bitter cold seizing Russia retained its icy grip Monday and severe freezing temperatures spread westward into much of Europe. More than 50 people have been reported killed by the cold wave in Russia, and scores of victims were recorded elsewhere in Europe over the weekend.

Whatever. As Tim Blair noted earlier this winter, Greenpeace's director in Quebec claimed that "Global warming can mean colder, it can mean drier, it can mean wetter. That’s what we’re dealing with."

So bundle up, Europe. Global warming means you'll be freezing to death sometime soon.
