I have a M.sci in Meteorology and I am working towards earning a Ph.D in Oceanography. My junk-o-meter was triggered after reading 3 lines. Reading 5 more lines confirmed that this is nothing but hysteria.

Right now it has been unusually cold in Europe, but it is still within the normal variations of the climate system. Did the North East Atlantic drift stop the last time we had such a cold spell? No.

And Europe is not the world. This cold spell does not cover the entire hemisphere. Au contraire, lots of places at the northern part of this globe have higher temperature than usual.

Last winter it was colder than usual in Northern Europe. Globally, it was warmer than usual.

If I can ask, what set off your junk-o-meter?

The BP oil disaster certainly wasn't as initially disastrous as the Clovis comet, which has some substantial evidence to conclude resulted in the Younger Dryas i.e. speculated that this event contributed to the closing down of the North Atlantic Gulf Stream of the worlds Thermohaline Circulation System.
