I heard Art Bell discussing this in Apocalyptic terms this weekend, so you know it has to be a load. I think the "global warming" people are getting a little nervous, 'cause Europe's been experiencing some very cold winters of late. Maybe the greenie weenie commies will go back to the "nuclear winter" theory of the '70s, by which pollutants in the upper atmosphere were going to block the sun's rays, resulting in an icy "nuclear winter". Or maybe the Left will combine their favorite parts of both theories into the "Unified Theory of We Must Have a One-World Government Right Now or We're All Gonna Die"!

One problem with all the really neat near-real time geophysical and meteorological data open to the public on the web is that they hear nonsense from Art Bell and his minions about various things relating to the earth, and then run off to websites they don't really understand and haven't really looked at over the long term and start looking for oddities.
