　 News link "thousand years extremely cold" is actually "floating cloud" one.

Since October 7th this year, the news that "Europe is going to be in the cold winter of one thousand years, and China or other Asian regions" is seen in the major media in China. For a time, coal and electricity shares rose and cotton prices soared. But who knows, the "thousand years of extreme cold" is a "floating cloud".

According to the survey, from September 10th, the news about the "thousand years of extreme cold" began to ferment in the major media in Poland, and appeared on the "Russian Regnum news network" in September 16th. Its report said - "Poland meteorologists have said that Europe will usher in the coldest winter since 1000. The warm Gulf Stream of Mexico is weakening, and it will stop providing Europe with a barrier against the Arctic cold. "

However, we can see all kinds of reports in China, and the news of "extremely cold" is found in the Yangtze Evening News in October 7th this year. In an article entitled "China's fear of escape" in the northern hemisphere this winter, it is pointed out: "Poland meteorologists warn that Europe may face the new low temperature of" one thousand year experience ", and China and other Asian regions may also be immune to it.

However, the mysterious "Poland meteorologist" - Kovar Voski from the Institute of Meteorology and water management in Poland soon came up to "rumor". According to his explanation, in early September of this year, he had been interviewed by TokFM radio station in Poland. When asked, "if the Mexico ocean current stopped moving and what the world would be like," Kovar Voss Ki expressed his views on the basis of pattern inference. He clarified: "I am a climologist and not a weather forecaster. How can I predict the weather problem?"

Interestingly, in the second day of "the news of the Millennium cold" in China, that is, in October 8th, the amount of financing and purchase in Shanghai and Shenzhen two cities exceeded 600 million yuan and hit a record high. On the day of the 88 stocks traded, coal and electricity shares are favored by funds. Since mid October, some enterprises, merchants and clothing exhibitions have played the "Millennium cold" brand. For a while, the "extremely cold economy" has become a new term.
