Good to know that you are referencing an authoritative source.. Now, next year is going to be hot because the end is nigh right? Ends in fire?

The sun is in the southern hemisphere now. Could that have something to do with it?

first off I don't use judging icons. don't you have to be a registered user to do that? second why are you using the farmers' almanac? it predicts weather year to year. we want to predict the climate with scientific models that can be substantiated. not a "secret recipe" for next harvest moons' rainfall. also, where did you get eh temperature readings from the output from the nuclear reactor cooling discharge?

I went to a seminar on local global warming (southern N.Y.) and the dude giving the spiel gave a nice pitch on the slight rise in average(0.2 o F)temperatures over the last 40 years in the Hudson valley. This of course was based on his own data .He had worked for the National weather service .When I questioned him about instrument calibration etc. over that time frame , he had no answer as to when, how often and what standards were ever used. I call it global BS .

BILL GRAY, professor emeritus. He is often called the World's Most Famous Hurricane Expert.
Gray's crusade against global warming "hysteria" began in the early 1990s, when he saw enormous sums of federal research money going toward computer modeling rather than his kind of science, the old-fashioned stuff based on direct observation. Gray often cites the ascendancy of Gore to the vice presidency as the start of his own problems with federal funding. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) stopped giving him research grants. So did NASA. All the money was going to computer models. The field was going off on this wild tangent.
Numerical models can't predict the future, he says. They don't even pretend to predict the weather in the coming season -- "but they make predictions of 50 or 100 years from now and ask you to believe the Earth will get warmer."
The modelers are equation pushers.
