The climate scientists have a busy Fall ahead of them as they rewrite their models to account for dropping ocean temperatures, but now they have to account for the Farmer's Almanac. The 190 year old publication has correctly predicted climate trends without regard to supposedly changing atmospheric gas ratios "two years in advance using a secret formula based on sunspots, the position of the planets and the tidal action of the moon." The Almanac is predicting a colder than average winter for the entire eastern seaboard. I don't believe Pluto's demotion will affect the prediction.
Now, on to the media bias portion of the entry: no mention whatsoever how this prediction does not support Global Warming. This summer, there were articles on how the heat wave is another piece of evidence for anthropogenic global warming, even causing Pat Robertson to convert. Will we see any mention of Global Warming in the predictable editorials complaining about the cost of heating oil as the winter months approach? I'll go on record right now, predicting: No.
Update: Welcome all from Tim Blair! Thank you Tim, for the link.

ReplyDeleteAccording to the Almanac, the Dakotas are going to have a winter that's 20 degrees colder than the average, brr!
Yes, that was me. I was going to switch to one of my alter egos, and messed up.
ReplyDeleteSo, AlGore is speaking in the Dakotas as well? (Obviously, I never get tired of that joke. It's funny because it's true!)
Man, he sure uses up a bunch of Global Warming jet fuel.
