Cold is hot, hot is cold
South Korea joins the set of countries suffering from the fast-approaching Little Ice Age, with inadequate preparation because all the world's "scientists" agreed on the criminal lie of warming.
Korea is doing things in its usual organized and strict way, which should help to fix the existing problem.
Ah, those benighted foreigners. We Americans know the right way to fix a problem! Shout incoherently at each other, run around like headless chickens on meth, let everything collapse, blame each other for the collapse, shout even more incoherently, run around like headless chickens on meth and crack, rinse and repeat.
But it remains to be seen whether Korea will learn from the problem. If any country is smart enough to learn and adapt, it would have to be Korea, but the Carbon Cult is so all-encompassing that I'm not hopeful. ¶ 12:40 PM
The government is implementing emergency energy-saving measures as demand for electricity skyrockets amid the record-breaking cold weather.
Following a Cabinet meeting on Tuesday, the government announced a series of measures which include limiting the interior temperature of energy-hungry big buildings and operating fewer subway trains.
From Jan. 24 to Feb. 18, the government will designate 441 buildings with high energy consumption ... and limit these buildings to interior temperatures of no more than 68 F.
These include 174 department stores or large discount stores, 113 corporate buildings and 68 educational facilities. On-site inspections will be carried out, with violators to face warnings followed by fines.
Intervals between subway trains in the Seoul metropolitan area will increase by one to three minutes between 10 a.m. and noon, the peak hours for electricity demand.
