More proof of global warming?

From here:

Europe's deadly freeze covers Acropolis in snow relentless Arctic weather front has wreaked more havoc across a wide swath of eastern Europe, killing 53 people overnight in Ukraine alone and severely disrupted transport networks in half-a-dozen countries. Intemperate weather has even covered Athens's Acropolis in snow and frozen stretches of the eastern Danube running between Bulgaria and Romania. The week-long deep freeze, forecast to last through Thursday, has claimed hundreds of lives from the Baltic nations and Russia in the north all the way down to Turkey and Greece, both semi-paralyzed by uninterrupted snowfall. The 24-hour toll in Ukraine brings to 160 the number of weather-related deaths there since temperatures plunged into the minus 20s and minus 30s Celsius (minus 30s Fahrenheit). The cold snap has also been lethal in Russia, with well over 100 deaths in Moscow alone, as well as Poland, where 14 persons died overnight Tuesday and 53 have succumbed since last week. At least half of all victims are homeless, according to official statistics, and many deaths are alcohol related. Temporary shelters have been set up in sports gyms, public buildings and hospitals throughout eastern Europe in an effort to get people off the street.   In Bulgaria, a homeless woman was found frozen to death in Sofia, one of five deaths attributed since Monday to frigid temperatures. Thousands more across eastern Europe are in hospital, suffering from frostbite and various stages of hypothermia.

I wonder if Primatene Mist had anything to do with this?!?
