“U.S. experts: Forecast is more extreme weather”

Doggone that weather........changing again.

In the eons that preceded the present moment, climate never changed, nary a bit.

But now suddenly things are different, and we have Climate Change.

This is good news. At least where the weather is concerned, the ‘experts’ are always wrong. Based on this forecast, we can expect more moderate weather.

Droughts will get drier, storms will get stormier and floods will get deeper with a warming climate across North America, Socialists like Nancy Pelosi and other Democrats said in a report billed as the first continental assessment of extreme events.

Had to correct it!

Yeah, the Democrats would have solved global warming, just like they solved AIDS, homelessness, and hunger.

No doubt. Look at all the nasty hurricanes we've had already. And floods almost as bad as 1993, and several other years going back to 1927, the worst Mississippi flood in history. Must have been all the combustion in World War I.

I thought the Earth’s temperature was going down recently. These meteorological events must be do to global cooling.

Yes, and if the theories about the relationship of sunspots to atmospheric temperature are true, we may be getting colder for several decades, which er, um, kind of invalidates this particular hand-wringing episode. Never fear: if the cold snap materializes, a reevaluation of the evidence and a new generation of improved models will come to the very same conclusion.

Could we get these “experts” to man the Northeast Indiana NWS office in North Webster? The folks there lately can’t tell you what its doing right now, let alone tonight or tomorrow. I suppose its global warming screwing that up too?
