It was 39 F degrees in Central Wisconsin at one o'clock in the afternoon on the last Saturday in May, part of a three month stretch of notoriously cold weather. I'm still not certain if ice age isn't the next round.

<<Global warming is an enormous problem, however and by whoever it's caused. It effects all of us wherever we are.>> 1. I'm not sure there is such a thing as permanent global warming - many great people of science don't agree with the concept. 2. I'm not sure that if there is global warming it is caused by any human activity. Read not long ago a single major volcanic eruption produces more "greenhouse gasses" than 3M autos being driven 200k miles ea. Can you imagine the CO & CO2 & unburned hydrocarbons (not to mention all the other nasties) produced by all the forest fires in the western US this year? If the dead wood hadn't burned & been left upon the forest floor to rot instead, methane & CO would have been produced. I fully agree that there is no way to win & we are not being saved by the green extremists.
