Warmest Winters ever? You're from Europe correct? It might have been warm in the UK, but the rest of Europe was freezing to death. Heck, even in Portugal we had some of the lowest temperatures ever in some places (-10º C).

Really? We had cold temperatures a few weeks ago, but not during November, December and January.

Global Warming, is known also as climate change, it's the change of the climate, which is accellerated by human hand and, which is leading us into the next ice age far before we should.
Is it really such a farfetched concept that the extreme tear on nature has an actual tangible effect, and that we're starting to see that effect now ?

It's not something to believe in. It's something that can be physically measured. The main group trying to convince everyone otherwise are the lobbyist who stand to loose money if we change things.

The last few winters has been some of the most extreme we have measured in recent time. Not this winter, for Denmark, but a couple of the last ones.. In a row. Same thing with the heat the last few summers.

I don't want to derail the thread though, and I don't intend to watch the video after reading the comments, so I believe we should leave this conversation for another thread, though I'm not really sure it needs to be discussed.. Theres plenty of info about it :P

January was actually the worst month for the rest of Europe. Not only was it very cold, it has also been a very dry winter season, meaning much colder temperatures as well. 

A similar situation happened to me once, minus the semi. Driving long distances on an icy road can lead to all sorts of... shall I say, unexpected events.

See, you were doing fine until the bolded.  WHYYYYYYY do you have to be so narcissistically unempathetic just because you haven't lost complete control of a vehicle while driving in the ice and snow?  There is a reason why they are called ACCIDENTS.  Do you honestly not see or understand why it is CRUEL to be this way toward these people and the ones they left behind?  Dude, you're 29 years old.  You're not one of these kids on the site that hasn't experienced or seen much of anything in life.  Does it make you feel better or something to stand above these human remains and declare them bad drivers, thus deserving of the death they suffered?  

The honest truth is that you have NO IDEA what happened to cause them to lose control unless you were in that car with them and witnessed it or possess some supernatural ability or future technology to put yourself in in that person's mind and vehicle at the time of this accident.  YOU.  HAVE.  NO.  IDEA.

Again, stop ... please, stop and FEEL some empathy for your fellow man for a change instead of constantly looking for a way to elevate yourself above them by faulting them for a horrific tragedy.  People died, man.  People.  Died.

Okay, I will respond even though I said I wouldn't.  I was in a Viking rampage mode earlier today after work since I got into that argument at work.  You are right though.  I can't assume anything, and I do feel empathy for the people involved in the accident.  Even though most humans tend to piss me off I will still stop and render aid when I see something happen.  Recently the day before New Years Eve I had to help a guy out of his flipped over SUV because he took a turn too fast while drunk.  Basically, I am willing to put my life on the line to rescue humans when I see danger even though I have a very negative view towards most people right now in my life.  I know there are good people but I get exposed to a lot of bad.  I am going on a rant now but yes I did cringe when I saw the impact because it is pretty obvious that they probably died. 

Snow in October? That would be a sight to behold if it happened here in Portugal (as it almost never snows, even when it gets to negative degrees). The autumn months here in Portugal were one of the most rainy ever, but the weather was a bit screwy last year.

Such a crazy accident,poor the driver,he hasn't got a chance to survive.
