Puteri’s Musings 2

31 January 2008
Some trains are operating again but crowds remain at stationsChina’s worst snow storms in half a century have caused 54bn yuan (£3.8bn) of damage, officials have announced.

Sixty people are now known to have died as a result of the severe weather, which began three weeks ago.

Millions of travellers remain stranded as they try to get home for next week’s Lunar New Year holiday, with the army helping to clear railways and roads.

Full story here.

Have you seen the crowds at the train stations in China? My goodness, it is almost like the whole country is at the train stations!!

I feel very sorry for these people who are hoping to get home in time for the Chinese New Year. The way the weather is going, it doesn’t look like many will make it home. So what if they managed to get on a train? For all you know that train might be stuck in the middle of nowhere in the freezing cold! That would be a lot worse than being by yourself in your rented room for the Chinese New Year!

Imagine 60 people have been known to have died from this big freeze in China! The worse snow storms in half a century.

Come on, there’s no global warming!! People have died from the cold weather, in the last few years, but I have yet to hear of people having died due to global warming!

There is NO global warming!
