I just hate all this Global whinning (or is that warming?). Tonight in the Sacramento CA area we had a significant thunderstorm move through - another sign of global whinning.
From http://icecap.us/images/uploads/solarcyclestory.pdf:
“The sun undergoes cyclical changes that appear to correlate with temperatures. The current cycle 23 appears to be the longest in at least a century and may project to quieter subsequent cycles and cooling temperatures ahead.”
From http://www.warwickhughes.com/agri/Solar_Arch_NY_Mar2_08.pdf:
“The Holocene, the period we are in now, is tracking along with three of the four previous interglacials. Of those three, if the Holocene ends up being like the Eemian, then we may have up to 3,000 years of Little Ice Age-like conditions before we plunge into the next glacial period. If not, then the plunge could start any time now.”
figures....i’ll never get my garden going!!!!ARG!!!!!!
Now every cold spell, warm spell, snowstorm, hurricane, thunderstorm, normal average day, nighttime and daytime is a political event.
These days the weather, like politics, just plain sucks.
Isn’t this JUNE?
My kids have not even been in our pool yest because IT IS ALMOST THE MIDDLE OF THE SUMMER already (June 21 is the longest day of the year)
39 degrees right now here in SE Wisconsin. Global warming, my butt.
44 degrees in northern Illinois this morning.
About 15 degrees colder than average.
Michigan has two seasons:
Nine months of snow and cold, followed by three months of cold, clammy, cloudy skies. Those pictures you see of sunny Michigan with bikini babes frolicking were taken by French voyagers in the late 1500s.
