John Tierney in The New York Times makes a prediction you can take to the bank.

You’re in for very bad weather. In 2008, your television will bring you image after frightening image of natural havoc linked to global warming. You will be told that such bizarre weather must be a sign of dangerous climate change — and that these images are a mere preview of what’s in store unless we act quickly to cool the planet.

A year ago, British meteorologists made headlines predicting that the buildup of greenhouse gases would help make 2007 the hottest year on record. At year’s end, even though the British scientists reported the global temperature average was not a new record — it was actually lower than any year since 2001 — the BBC confidently proclaimed, “2007 Data Confirms Warming Trend.”

When the Arctic sea ice last year hit the lowest level ever recorded by satellites, it was big news and heralded as a sign that the whole planet was warming. When the Antarctic sea ice last year reached the highest level ever recorded by satellites, it was pretty much ignored. A large part of Antarctica has been cooling recently, but most coverage of that continent has focused on one small part that has warmed.

Read the whole thing.

All I know is this winter is off to a good, cold start in these parts. Before Christmas break, my kids' schools were closed for snow for one day and started late another day. I can't remember that last time they had a "snow day" before Christmas. Their school was closed again today and will be tomorrow due to snow also. This is not a good sign for the rest of the winter. A low of 4⁰ is predicted for tonight. Woooh doggies!!

No matter what the weather, it's due to human caused "climate change." It used to be called global warming but it doesn't always get warmer. "Climate change" is such a nice term because we can label anything "climate change." And, one thing's as certain as "100 Percent Chance of Alarm" and that's a changing climate, humans or no humans.
