Let's see how many "Blairisms" we can find in this screed.

Here in the New York area, we just had the shortest, coolest summer I can remember in my lifetime. It reached 90 degrees only 4 or 5 days this year (25-35 is probably normal). And the last few nights we've had those cool "hints of autumn" that we normally don't see until late September or early October.

I suppose it could be worse. In western Canada, the first "hint of autumn" evening was normally experienced at a barbecue one evening in early August. LOL.

Assuming that global warming is being caused or at least accelerated by man's use of fossil fuels, and assuming that we give up anything that burns fossil fuels, how certain is it that the warming trend would be reversed?

If we voluntarily go back to the stone age, it'll get colder?

Maybe it would be more prudent to accept that warming will happen no matter what we do and go from there.

And last year a (presumably shivering) porcupine arrived.

That porcupine humped 250 miles over barren ground (Porcupine eat bark and live in trees). Probably someone's pet.

Porcupine Habitat: Pine and leafy forests (especially with rock ledges for dens) in the East and dry brushy areas in the West.

OBTW: Check out Siberian and N.E. Canadian Temps.

Unfortunately there have been so many bogus studies to back up lying environmentalists it's hard to know what is true.

Note that three of North America's Great Lakes -- Superior, Erie and Huron -- froze over
completely this past winter. Within the period for which reliable ice cover data are
available for the five Great Lakes (1963 to the present), this is the first time all three of
these lakes have simultaneously experienced 100% ice cover,

"In the hamlet of Deadhorse, I ran into an Arctic native named Jackson Snyder, who said that winters were getting "a lot warmer — doesn't get much below 50 below anymore."

Here is a classis Times move. They interview an local native figure in an historic sounding place whose wisdom and experience confirms the scientific data.

I hope it wasn't a long trip to Deadhorse. The quote is not even complete! It is half made up by the Times! Pathetic.

Assuming for a moment that global warming is real, I'm still waiting for someone to explain to me why it would be a bad thing. Increases in temperature of a few degrees and a rise in CO2 concentrations will lead to a greening of the planet. Why is that bad (other than for France)?
