What the heck? Snow in the Middle East

[MamaLema]

Have you guys seen this? Snow in Cairo. My family in Israel has tons of snow which never happens and now they're even saying it's going to snow in Saudi Arabia which I don't think it ever happened before. Check it out

In Canada, we call this flurries

A friend of mine is currently living in Jordan and they are getting heaps of snow. It is a major worry with the number of Syrian refugee camps there.

I've heard. It's just awful. I've been to Cairo before and there are so many people who sleep on the street there. They aren't equip to handle something like this either (no shelters etc).

Al Gore's laughing all the way to the bank.

The kids there must be in 7th Heaven! Mine are with the snow we got last night, and it snows here several time a year

Snow's only exciting to a child with warm clothes, a warm home, and warm food to eat tonight. Sadly there are many many refugee children in that region right now with none of those things.

Shocking discovery made.

Global climate change has been going on for billions of years.

Nope the planet's only what 6k old

How long have we been collecting weather data for the whole planet about 1k if that. unless we are counting the guessing of the ice cores.

The real question isn't whether climate change exists, but whether this is a man-made phenomenon.

Global climate change has been going on for billions of years.

I've lived in Las Vegas for 11 years and this last week is the coldest I can remember, we had a pretty mild summer also. Maybe the scientists that predicted global cooling in the 70s before it turned into global warming in the 80s before it turned into climate change in the 90s were right. lol The climate is always changing, I don't know if it's natural or influenced by man, all I know is it's cold.

We're both right.

Scientifically 5 billion years old

According to the bible 5-6 thousand years.
