Just a quick update to my last article on ‘global warming.’

I thought these news stories were a bit interesting:

Record Snow in Chicago:
Falling fluff causes havoc, sets record — and more is on the way.
April snow’s the worst. Forget what the weather forecasters said — you didn’t really expect this: a record 2.9 inches of snow, topping the mark of 2.3 inches for April 11 set in 1957.

Bismarck sees record snowfall
A slow-moving, low-pressure system dumped a record amount of snow on Bismarck and even more on Mandan on Tuesday. Bismarck’s total for the month of April is 10.2 inches, Peterson said. This is 8 inches more than the average 2.2 inches the city receives.

Record Snowfall in Milwaukee:
Milwaukee also broke a snowfall record for the date with 7 inches; the previous record of 3.2 inches was recorded in 1997. The town of Taylor, in west-central Wisconsin, had 9.5 inches. North Dakota and South Dakota got about 7 inches of snow. Some areas of northern Illinois reported up to six inches.

Those on the left seem to be frozen in the tracks (pun very intended). The cements my belief that the earth’s atmosphere is a very complex animal.

We can barely predict the weather a few days in advance, we all know. We can barely predict the weather a season in advance (as my last Hurricane article proved). In the 1970’s, scientists thought we were entering a global COOLING period with another ice age!

Let’s cool off on this ‘global warming’ is going to kill us all ‘the day after tomorrow.’ Let’s stop trying to make people feel guilty for driving an SUV. Let’s do something more productive.
