A cold wave claimed seven more lives in Poland and one casualty in Belgium as temperatures across Europe plunged below freezing overnight in what weather officials Wednesday dubbed the coldest night of winter.
Polish police said the latest victims who froze to death Tuesday included a 68-year-old homeless man found in an abandoned house in the southeast town of Jozefow, and a 51-year-old man who lived alone in central Eligiow and died a few steps away from his home.
Temperatures in Poland dropped as low as minus 25 degrees Celsius (minus 13 degrees Fahrenheit).

According to Interior Ministry data, hypothermia has been blamed for 76 deaths in Poland since November 2008.
A Belgian man, in his 30s, also froze to death overnight Tuesday according to police as temperatures plunged to minus 20 degrees Celsius, the country’s coldest snap for 10 years.

I’m from Canada, in a city “no longer” from New-York City, called Montreal ,two week ago that was -40°C with wind, right now -8°C and in Nunavut , or ” Our Land ” in native language …this is where the white bears live..its right now -13°C and -36°C for Friday..they have no global warning. Its the normal temperature in Canada between -0°C to -40°C in winter and 10°C to 30°C in summer, the temperature in Canada look same has the European country (Germany,France,United Kingdom …) and a some place in United States such Ohio / New-York.

Don’t worry about Global Warming, Our man in the UK Gordon Brown is going to fix it, and Congestion, and Landfill problems with mass mass mass mass mass immigration and mass mass taxation thereby completely solving the Problem.
Takes a Brit to solve the Big Problems.

It’s only colder because England has banned incandescent light bulbs which were making too much heat. It’s working! Keep banning those light bulbs!

Ahh but you see its no longer global warming but climate change instead. That way they can pin it on literally anything.
