Where Is Global Warming?

Ironic that the same people who write about "Global Warming" and "Climate Change" on a daily basis can post stories like this and think nothing of it.

Decade has had fewest 90-degree days since 1930

August is the wettest and often the muggiest month of the year. Yet, summer heat continues in short supply, continuing a trend that has dominated much of the 21st Century's opening decade. There have been only 162 days 90 degrees or warmer at Midway Airport over the period from 2000 to 2008. That's by far the fewest 90-degree temperatures in the opening nine years of any decade on record here since 1930.

This summer's highest reading to date has been just 91 degrees. That's unusual. Since 1928, only one year—2000—has failed to record a higher warm-season temperature by Aug. 13.

Seriously, if this keeps up I will be wearing a snow parka in August soon!

Happy to see you back after your long absence. Perhaps you can rekindle your relationship with Glenna if you have that little going on around there!

Unfortunately, Michael ruined my relationship with Glenna.
