People are finding innovative ways to travel in London

Thousands of people have been unable to travel in London as snow disrupted
the city's transport network.

You imply that extra snow is falling due to global cooling.

However cooler oceans would result in less evaporation and hence less
snow. *

And less reflection and more solar warming; a negative feedback?
Aren't they impossible?


So extra snow is more likely to be due to warmer oceans.

Arctic ice to melt each summer: Russian experts
By Moscow correspondent Scott Bevanhttp://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2009/02/19/2495518.htm?section=justin

A group of Russian climate experts claims that ice in the Arctic could
completely melt each summer by the end of this century.

"could"


The climate change experts from Russia's National Meteorological
Centre are involved in a new report on climate change and warn of
increasing global warming.

They told a media conference that Russia will feel global warming more
than most countries.

Why am I not entirely convinced by this point?


In their latest report, the researchers forecast that the country's
average yearly temperatures will increase by 2.6 degrees Celsius by
the middle of the century.

Do they have better climate modelers than the west?


One scientist, Vladimir Katsov, has said it is expected that the
Arctic will be free of ice in summer by the end of the century.

Mr Katsov has said the thickness of ice in the region has been
decreasing rapidly and ice in the Arctic could become seasonal.

However, extra snow would require greater evaporatiion precipation is
occurring. That could imply greater evaporation from the oceanswhich
in turn would be precipitation and cause less snow.

Lost something in the translation in that last paragraph.
