15 degree celcius can kill 60 over people?

 

That's only slightly below the 18 degrees set in my bedroom aircon!

 

And I sleep without clothes on!

You need to understand. 18 degrees is the set temperature. The current temperature at any point in time may not be 18 degrees Celsius. More often than not, there is an offset between the actual temp and the set temp. This depends on the quality of the PID controller used.

Hmm ya good to feel chilling weather now but beware come June you will feel one of the hottest month ever. Climate change. I prefer our tropical weather. I don't want to experience again wearing one pair of Jean for one whole winter season.

FALLING temperatures across the Asian region are chafing farmers and threatening to upset the supply of farm produce, even as the cold snap killed more than 60 people in Thailand.
On Malaysia's Cameron Highlands, famed for its strawberries, tea leaves and vegetables, farmers are frustrated as crops are taking a longer time to harvest.
"When the minimum temperature was 18 deg C, we harvested cabbages in three months," Mr Chai Kok Leong, 45, who owns a vegetable farming business in the Brinchang township, was quoted as saying by The Star.
"Now that the temperature has declined to 12 deg C, we are forced to wait an extra half a month before we can sell them."

Did it snow at Mount Kinabalu just before dawn on Jan 17, when temperatures dipped to -3 deg C?

A report submitted to Sabah Parks by their head ranger Martin Mogurin indicated that there were signs of snow at the summit area of the 4,101m-high mountain along the Crocker Range around 4am. Mr Martin said guides at the mountain submitted a report but were unable to back it up with pictures as it was dark. Sabah Parks officials are trying to verify the report.
Sabah Parks chairman Tengku Zainal Adlin, who has climbed every face of Mount Kinabalu in the last five decades, is not surprised over the snow report.
Mr Zainal said ice on the mountain was common, especially in the early hours of the morning.

Glacier fox: Animal becomes latest to freeze solid in Scandinavia's lakes, following fish and moose
By SARA MALM
PUBLISHED: 14:54 GMT, 24 January 2014 | UPDATED: 15:27 GMT, 24 January 2014
A fox has become the latest victims to the freezing temperatures on Scandinavia's waters as it was found frozen solid in a lake in southern Sweden.
The animal was discovered by a skater on Lake Bunn, near Jönköping, who originally thought it was a piece of foam rubber, but found the poor fox dead in the ice with its head just above the surface.
It follows recent 'animal ice deaths' in Scandinavia, where an entire shoal of fish were photographed off the coast of Norway just days after a moose had suffered the same fate.
Jeffer Sandström, 26, said: ‘From what I could see the ice had obviously cracked and the fox had fallen through the hole. Unable to get out after scrabbling around it must have tried to swim under the ice in a last-ditch effort to save itself and then probably suffocated.’
He said: ‘I'd been unsure myself as to whether skating on a lake here in Jönköping was a good idea.
‘Temperatures had been below zero for several days though, so in the end I figured it was strong enough for a skate. I guessed the ice was likely between three and five centimetres thick.’
‘I skated fairly close by and saw it out of the corner of my eye and thought someone had thrown foam rubber of something into the water, and then I saw it was a fox,' Jeffer told Aftonbladet.
'It was totally frozen, the whiskers were sticking up above the surface.'
On thin ice: Skater Jeffer Sandström decided to return home after he saw that the fox had gone through the frozen surface
He added: ‘I'd never seen anything like it before. I must admit I felt really sorry for the fox, but not for long, because I felt if it can happen to the fox, I might be next.’
‘I just thought “Whoops, it's time to go home”.’
The is is not the first time animals have been caught out by freezing temperatures in Scandinavian waters.
Last week an entire shoal of fish was found frozen mid-swim off the coast of Norway, near the northern island of Lovund.
Earlier in the winter, a moose was found frozen solid after falling through the icy surface of a Norwegian lake, found half visible above the ice.
It appears as though it was trying to cross the ice, when it cracked, trapping the moose in the freezing water.

Cos our environment is different mah.

 

The people that have died in coldness may not have proper food, shelter and clothes. That is why they are freeze to death.

I never believed those that claim global warming.

 

All they wanted to do was collect money from us in the form of carbon tax.

 

Now that we have global cooling, can they refund us our carbon tax so we can drive more to warm up the planet?
