The data just keeps coming in.
China is experiencing unusual chills this winter with its national average temperature hitting the lowest in 28 years, and snow and ice have closed highways, canceled flights, stranded tourists and knocked out power in several provinces.
Russia, too, is experiencing its coldest winter in seventy years.China Meteorological Administration on Friday said the national average was -3.8 degrees Celsius (25 degrees Fahrenheit) since late November, the coldest in nearly three decades.
Alaska is going rogue, also, with coldest winter in two decades.
The forecast for a one degree rise in global temperatures over the next century looks a bit shaky right now.
