Tokyo experienced it’s first snowless winter on record, although meteorologists blame El Nino in part.
Shanghai had the highest winter temperature ever recorded, 2.6 degrees celcius above average, highest since record keeping began in 1873.
Two weeks ago the Chinese Meteorological Bureau reported that a third of its climate observation stations on the Tibetan plateau had registered all time high temperatures.
Europe also experienced some records this winter. The Alps experienced the warmest winter on record, with average temperatures 3 or 4 degrees celsius above average. Zurich saw only two days of snow compared to an average 16.
Around the world, records continue to fall, and skepticism about global warming becomes increasingly untenable.
