It was cold here in Arkansas too....not that it set any records, but it was colder for longer, and that caused the loss of a lot of tree branches, mostly the hardwoods like pecans.
The summer was cooler. We had only a couple days where the mercury crossed the 100 degree mark and just barely so.
We are now in the beginnings of a draught. No real rain for over a month. Everything is dead, or in hibernation early.
But it’s all happened before...The draught seems to be moving west from Alabama....they are getting the rain now...the weather is always in flux..
Yes, we had a cool summer this year in Maine, too, where we spent the summer. Hardly any 80 degree days, let alone 90 degrees. And last spring in Vermont was freezing cold. One of the few winters I can remember where there were really no thaws in our dirt roads from Christmas into April.
When the environmental grifters changed "global warming" to "climate change" because there was no real world global warming it was just more subterfuge. "Climate change" means ..the weather is always in flux..
Therefore, the probability of the world getting warmer is as great as the probability of the world getting cooler. Why are they still getting wads of grant money?
