If you are listening to the Liberals pushing the cap and trade bill through the process in Washington, we are teetering on the brink of a Global Warming disaster, with droughts, rising sea levels, and dead animals EVERYWHERE.
Of course if you are in Canada right now you might be praying for global warming as they are experiencing wide spread frost.
AccuWeather ran a story yesterday (that it won’t let me access now without a premium membership) talking about how much of the northern United States and Canada will not really see a summer this year.
Even this week in AZ has been really nice and it’s not often that we can say that in June. Swim classes started for my kids this week and everyone is complaining that the water is cold. Usually it’s 90 (that’s the water in the pool, not outside) by now. If this is global warming, I’m LOVIN’ IT!
If you are looking for some actual science on the subject the Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change just released Climate Change Reconsidered. You can purchase the book for $154 (choke) or you can download it for free from their site.
I think you can officially say that the appropriate response to someone freaking out about climate change is to laugh… and then club them over the head with this 800+ page book of scientific evidence. But make sure you put a blanket over their peacefully resting, unconscious body… because evidently it’s cold out.

Climate Change and Skipping Summer

It is 68 degrees right now. It is June 10th and have not run the air yet. Can't go to the pool, because quite frankly, there isn't a pool heater good enough to warm the pool to a temperature worth swimming in. So global warming, I am unsure of what that is all about, unless what they really meant by global warming was that we were going to have to use our heaters in June :)
Actually you guys were the first ones I thought of when I read the "year without a summer" story.
Sorry.
Hey, we are suffering down here too, Brandi said the pool had to have been in the 70s yesterday for swim class.
:)
