Cold weather kills millions

With Central Asia experiencing temperatures of - 40º C some of that much talked about global warming would be very welcome indeed:

The International Red Cross has appealed for help for thousands of Mongolian herders who have lost their livestock because of extreme cold.

The Red Cross said that millions of animals had perished during the country's hardest winter in years.

A particularly cold winter doesn't disprove global warming, of course, but does show that cold is the killer we should fear most of all.
