Dust off those makinaws...
Winter in NH, 2008 and beyond?
As we get ready for yet more snow here in Central NH, and the woodpiles are nearly gone, are you still prepared to buy Al Gore & co's bunk about global warming? I know-- you've probably been told that all of this cold weather and snow is the result of... yep-- GLOBAL WARMING!
But, what if the reality is that all this winter and snow and stuff is the result of... gulp... GLOBAL COOLING?! That's what an article from Canada's National Post is saying could be a very real possibility...
"We missed what was right in front of our eyes," says Prof. Russell. It's not ice melt but rather wind circulation that drives ocean currents northward from the tropics. Climate models until now have not properly accounted for the wind's effects on ocean circulation, so researchers have compensated by over-emphasizing the role of manmade warming on polar ice melt.

Last month, Oleg Sorokhtin, a fellow of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences, shrugged off manmade climate change as "a drop in the bucket." Showing that solar activity has entered an inactive phase, Prof. Sorokhtin advised people to "stock up on fur coats."
Huh? Consider this, when you click on over to read the whole article:
Snow cover over North America and much of Siberia, Mongolia and China is greater than at any time since 1966.
The U.S. National Climatic Data Center (NCDC) reported that many American cities and towns suffered record cold temperatures in January and early February. According to the NCDC, the average temperature in January "was -0.3 F cooler than the 1901-2000 (20th century) average."
Who are you gonna believe? A lyin' Gore or your truth-seeing eyes?
