Cool summer, bright days led to the highest crop yields ever in the US. Not a good omen for the chicken little crowd. See the article at Science Daily.

But this can't possibly be true. Haven't all the respectable scientists told us global warming is here and we are at fault and the ice caps are melting and we're all going to drown and the polar bears are starving? Must be "science" from those creationism scientists, right?

Don't you understand? That's the first part of Global Warming: everything will appear to be just fine....

The average temperature in my part of the country is up about 20°F in just the past month! If this keeps up, I'll be roasting potatoes on my front porch next year some time. We're doomed! Oh sure they try to tell us it's "spring", but that's just part of the conspiracy!

Besides feeding us, don't all those crops suck up CO2, I mean "greenhouse gases"?

The dandelions are at least a week to a week and half late here in east central Illinois this year.
