London Was Colder Than Antarctica Yesterday; Global Warming = Obvious Myth

London this time of year is, well, London. It's cold. It's rainy. There may or may not be some fog and mist involved. So, yeah, if you were traveling there yesterday, you probably had reasonably low expectations regarding the weather. But not Antarctica-level-temperatures low, right?

Well, as it turns out, London was colder than Antarctica yesterday.

At Antarctica's Jubany Scientific Station, which is home to 60 people, 16,000 penguins and 650 sea lions, a relatively balmy high of 41F (5C) was recorded.

MeteoGroup UK said that on Sunday night temperatures reached 18F (-8C) in northern Scotland and 21F (-6C) in parts of England and Wales.

So pretty clearly, global warming = totally fake. Yet that's not even remotely the best part of the Telegraph's article. This is:

The lowest temperature ever recorded in England was -15F (-26.1C) on Jan 10, 1982 in Shropshire.

Bookmakers William Hill cut the odds of a record cold temperature being reached in 2009 from 20/1 to 16/1.

Yes, that's right. The British bet on the weather. The freaking weather, man. Of course, if we didn't have the NFL playoffs and college football's playoffs fail BCS, I'd probably lay $50 on whether or not the sun was going to shine today. Oh, right, and again: something ain't stirring the Kool-Aid on the weather when this is happening.
