The Old Farmer's Almanac is going further out on a limb than usual this year, not only forecasting a cooler winter, but looking ahead decades to suggest we are in for global cooling, not warming.
Based on the same time-honored, complex calculations it uses to predict weather, the Almanac hits the newsstands on Tuesday saying a study of solar activity and corresponding records on ocean temperatures and climate point to a cooler, not warmer, climate, for perhaps the next half century.
"I think our party has got into a mess on the environment. As a practical matter of politics, nobody knows what (Kyoto) is or what it commits us to." Michael Ignatieff

ReplyDeleteThe Farmer's Almanac story is great news. Not that I don't appreciate warmer weather, but maybe someday soon, the wing-nuts will stop harping about GW. Now we have to get them off climate change as a daily prayer cycle.
