Farmer's Almanac Predicts Colder, 'Catastrophic' Winter

but, but, but .....

LEWISTON, Maine — People worried about the high cost of keeping warm this winter will draw little comfort from the Farmers' Almanac, which predicts below-average temperatures for most of the U.S.

"Numb's the word," says the 192-year-old publication, which claims an accuracy rate of 80 to 85 percent for its forecasts that are prepared two years in advance.

The almanac's 2009 edition, which goes on sale Tuesday, says at least two-thirds of the country can expect colder-than-average temperatures this winter, with only the Far West and Southeast in line for near-normal readings.

"This is going to be catastrophic for millions of people," said almanac editor Peter Geiger.

The almanac predicts above-normal snowfall for the Great Lakes and Midwest, especially during January and February, and above-normal precipitation for the Southwest in December and for the Southeast in January and February. The Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions will likely have an unusually wet or snowy February, the almanac said.

Farting is of a constant quantity.

[valis]

yeah, but it's the quality that matters.

I can't disagree with that.

arctic ice cap melting faster than ever

The Arctic ice cap keeps melting under the effects of global warming and in August saw its second largest summer shrinkage since satellite observations began 30 years ago, US scientists said.

Measurements on August 26 showed an ice cap of 5.26 million square kilometers (2.03 million square miles), just below the 5.32 million square kilometers (2.05 million square miles) observed on 21 September 2005, making it the second biggest summer Arctic ice-cap melt in history, said the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC).

Since the start of August, the Boulder, Colorado-based center said, the Arctic polar cap shrank by 2.06 million square kilometers (0.8 million square miles).

The melting is so fast and extensive it could shrink the ice cap to below the 4.25 million square kilometers (1.64 million square miles) reached in the summer of 2007, the smallest it has ever been observed by satellites, the center said.

Since the end of the Arctic summer and the start of the freezing autumn is several weeks away, it said, the ice cap could dwindle even more than it did in 2007.

At the end of northern hemisphere summer 2007, the Arctic ice cap was 40 percent smaller than the average 7.23 million square kilometers (2.8 million square miles) observed in 1979-2000, the NSIDC said.

The North Pole melting season begins in mid-June. The ice cap shrinks to its smallest area by mid-September and grows the most in winter by mid-March.

"The bottom line, however, is that the strong negative trend in summertime ice extent characterizing the past decade continues," the Center said in a report.

The North Pole itself could even become free of ice by September for the first time in modern history, setting a new milestone in the effects of global warming on the Arctic ice shelf, NSIDC glaciologist Mark Serreze told AFP in late June.

whoa.......

I saw that, too.
It seems to negate all the comments from the blogger sites that claim otherwise.

the north pole free of ice?????

that really blew me away......

5 Diseases that are Thriving Thanks to Global Warming.

Global climate change is extending the reach of diseases once found only in tropical regions.

Do you think tropical diseases only occur in developing countries? Think again.

Global Warming Hoaxers Demand Fewer Children

Not even the Most Powerful Woman in the World can deny that according to the Catholic Church, abortion is evil. But as all liberals know, morality is relative. According to another religion, abortion must be good, because it means having fewer children.

The British Medical Journal, setting aside science for the dadaist religion some call Enviromoonbattery, wants Britons to quit having so many kids, out of faith that this will reduce harmless CO2 emissions and cause the climate to become stable for the first time in the history of the planet.

Never mind that the most serious problem faced by Europe is depopulation caused by falling birth rates.

China's communist rulers opportunistically argue that they should be rewarded with emission reduction credits for their unconscionable one-child policy — which may be their next major export.

John Guillebaud, a "family-planning doctor" who spewed anti-child moonbattery in BMJ, assures us:

We're not Big Brother. We're not for pushing people. We just think deciding how big a family to have should take into consideration our descendants.

These descendants won't even exist if moonbats have their way. It's reassuring that Guillebaud is "not for pushing people." But others won't be so squeamish. After all, they have a planet to save.

I was just thinking.......if by some odd fate of circumstances, if you died and went to Hell, I'll bet you'd be made to sit next to Al Gore

That would be hell.
