This article argues that we will soon enter a period of global cooling due to the lack of sun spots.

My favorite comments on the story:

“Actually, it’s much worse! On any given day, half the planet faces global warming whereas the other half faces global cooling!

Coincidentally, the warming half is the one facing the Sun, and the cooling half is the opposite side! Go figure…”

Tropical Storm Fay never really made it to a Hurricane as predicted and missed us altogether. Predictions over the weekend were that it was going to hit us on Tuesday. We experienced some winds but no rain. We’ve had worse thunderstorms!!

It’s amazing how the same people that “predict” global climate change 30 years out can’t even tell me if a small tropical storm over Florida is going to hit me in the next 24 hours.
