Bloomberg is reporting as many as 1300 people may be stranded.
As many as 1,300 passengers from two trains in one tunnel were to be evacuated on an empty vehicle being sent to collect them from another tunnel, the report cited the spokesman of Eurotunnel as saying. Three trains broke down, the report said.
The temperature difference between the cold air and warm tunnel caused the trains to break down, the BBC reported on its Web site, citing train operator Eurostar. The Met Office issued amber warnings for London and southeastern England earlier this week amid heavy snow.
Further proof of Global Warming....I mean climate change.
I hope the passengers and crew are able to get un-stuck from the tunnel safe and sound.

Blizzard Dumps Snow on Copenhagen as Leaders Battle Warming
Today's sno-cone of irony courtesy of Bloomberg.
Dec. 17 (Bloomberg) -- World leaders flying into Copenhagen today to discuss a solution to global warming will first face freezing weather as a blizzard dumped 10 centimeters (4 inches) of snow on the Danish capital overnight.
“Temperatures will stay low at least the next three days,” Henning Gisseloe, an official at Denmark’s Meteorological Institute, said today by telephone, forecasting more snow in coming days. “There’s a good chance of a white Christmas.”
While I'm thinking about it, somebody get word out to the airport's ground crew in Copenhagen that there could be a few extra Krones in their stockings this Christmas if they were more than a little stingy with the de-icer for Chavez and Mugabe's planes.

Copenhagen Conference Welcomes Aging African Despot; Hot Air Front From Latin America Expected as Well
Seems Old Man Mugabe isn't too welcome in Europe, but was able to exploit a loophole courtesey of the United Nations.
Copenhagen - Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe arrived Tuesday in Copenhagen to take part in the final days of the UN climate talks to be attended by some 120 world leaders, Danish television footage showed.
Hugo Chavez also announced yesterday that he will attend the final days of the Copenhagen conference. Chavez says that global warming is to blame for drought in Venezuela, which affected their hydroelectric power supply (as opposed to central government planning being to blame).
I'm touched that Chavez and Mugabe would take time out of their busy schedules of pile-driving their economies into the ground and squelching opposition at home to fly halfway around the world to demand money from industrial nations

Is 'Media Spin' a Renewable Energy Resource?
The latest damage-control the press is trying to utilize regarding the hacked Climate Change e-mails from East Anglia University is 'Petty but accurate'.
The 1,073 e-mails examined by the AP show that scientists harbored private doubts, however slight and fleeting, even as they told the world they were certain about climate change. However, the exchanges don't undercut the vast body of evidence showing the world is warming because of man-made greenhouse gas emissions.
Is there a turbine to harness the power of all this spinning? Just because they used suspect methodology, withheld information from other researchers and openly ridiculed skeptics doesn't mean their findings are flawed in any way shape or form. I mean, come on- the debate is over! And just in time for bloodthirsty genocidal despotic nations like Sudan to start demanding money from the industrialized nations at this farce in Denmark.

Developing Nations Represented by Genocidal Totalitarian Islamist State at Copenhagen Conference
As if you needed any more evidence that the Copenhagen Conference was a farce:
What Were They Thinking?
What is difficult for developed countries to understand is the choice of Sudan as a standard-bearer in the first place. The G77 elected Sudan as its chair in September, 2008, when its genocidal campaign in Darfur was already well known. By March, 2009, Omar al-Bashir, the country's president, became the first sitting head of state to be indicted for war crimes and crimes against humanity by the International Criminal Court, all related to the Darfur attacks that killed hundreds of thousands of civilians. Mr. al-Bashir is a wanted man, and his attendance at Copenhagen is unlikely; Sudanese leadership cannot be credible.
Maybe Sudan was selected for their uncompromising and hands-on approach to reducing the 'carbon footprints' of all those civilians in Darfur.

Saving the World in STYLE 2.0.....Free Shuttle Buses Provided Are Empty.
FOX News is reporting that even though limos and luxury sedans have to be brought in from adjacent countries to meet demand in Denmark, the free shuttle buses that the conference provided for delegates are making their rounds while mostly empty.
