"I certainly hope there is no global warming..."

As the world continues to get colder, you hope that there's no warming?

In 1998, half or more of the urban street trees in New England were destroyed by an ice storm that knocked out power in large areas for up to 10 days. No Winter.

For the past 7 years, record numbers of people have frozen to death, world wide, in larger, and colder than normal storms. - The western United States has essentially not had any summer for the last 4 years, as spring temperatures prevailed through the normally hot summer months.

I think that you have been bamboozled by 'news' media propaganda.

As a child in NY, there were 6' snow drifts EVERY winter. Now....warm mud. If I have been bamboozled, it is by my eyes, and other senses. Once the Canada Geese came here, and never left...things have been strange. An indicator. People have been killed in odd, unusual weather. That is all that I am saying. The Earth corrects itself, accomodates all sorts of things. What's behind it, I do not know...but I have observed various changes...perhaps corrections, balances.

I report what I perceive. T-shirts in January in NY is noteworthy. What happens in Antarctica is of little interest to the new bananna-farming industry in New England.
