As in most weather forecasts, they are wrong about 85% of the time regardless. :>}

“The US Will See 50 Percent More Lightning Strikes, Thanks to Global Warming”

Does that mean that your chances of winning the lottery
will get better?

So, that must mean the ozone hole at the poles, about which we have heard nothing for years, will close up, since lightening creates ozone?

By the way, did banning CFC’s ever stop the growth of the ozone hole, or did we just stop hearing about it to imply that it worked?

“We used to have lots of lightening and thunderstorms in California. We’ve had much less in the last 15 years.”

My wife’s memory, which is better than mine (just ask her), made the same comment after hearing this latest Science Fiction on a local tv news channel last night.

She said that it seemed to her, that we have had a lot less lightening this past decade in wino country.

So you must be correct as my wife is all ways correct.:)

From the article - “If warming continues unchecked”

There has been NO warming for 18 years. That is a scientific fact. Sounds like global warming has been “checked” to me.

Even if true deaths will still decline due to better weather forecasting and notifications via mobile devices.
