On the global warming climate change front we have been setting records this fall. Here in Atlanta, we had the coldest Thanksgiving since 1911. Since I moved here in 1985, Thanksgiving has usually been warm enough to wear a short sleeve shirt. Not this year. Earlier this week, Chicago set a record cold for that date. New York just had a record snowfall.
I contend that the the record cold weather this Fall is proof of global cooling. And, here in Atlanta we had a very mild summer, yet again proof of global cooling.
Yeah, this is all anecdotal, but when we have a hot day, the religious fanatics of the Church of AGW all yell that this is proof of global warming.
Yes. AGW is a religion. It has a high priest, Pope Albert I of the Church of AGW, and it sells indulgences in the form of carbon credits, a scam that has made Pope Albert rich. Yannow, maybe I oughta start my own church. There’s a Jehovah’s Witness church a few blocks away that’s for sale. Maybe I oughta buy it.
But I dogress. The Arctic ice is returning at the North Pole. Antarctica is setting cold temperature records.
As Insty sez, “The Last Centurion and Fallen Angel are just novels, right?”
Couldn’t have anything to do with scientists saying they have never seen the sun with less eruptions and sunspots since first being recorded.

It is actually a bit concerning.
Last Friday the average temperature in the country was 14.5 degrees F. That was colder than any average for the entire last winter.
Meanwhile I saw a list of the top ten climate catastrophes which could befall humankind. Most had to do with Global Warming. Not a single one mentioned the much more severe possibility of Global Cooling. If the average global temps drop even a couple of degrees, the growing season will be seriously affected in various regions of the world, leading to widespread food shortages and famine. Just think what that will do for world peace.
Last Monday in Havre, Montana, 130 miles due east of the town my wife and I grew up in, the temperature was 27 below zero. And that does not include the wind chill factor of about 50 below or more. (The wind never quits along that part of Montana some 35 miles south of the Canadian border.) One of my sons and his family live in Helena where the temp got to 11 below that same day.
