The world must not have gotten Al Gore's memo that the earth is warming. Yesterday Record cold swept over the region Wednesday in Ocala, Florida. (My emphasis throughout)
Twice the temperature dipped to freezing at the Ocala International
Airport early Wednesday before it began making a gradual climb to the
mid-60s.
Though there was a reading of freezing or below throughout northwest
Marion County, Wednesday morning's official low temperature was 33
degrees.
It was a record for Oct. 29 and the second lowest
temperature ever recorded in October since 1850...
...In almost every area of the county at daybreak Wednesday, frost - which came six weeks early - glistened on grass and rooftops.
On the other side of the pond, the Gore Effect has gone into full swing even without Mr. Gore's presence. Just discussing Global Warming legislation prompted the earliest snowfall in 86 years: Snow blankets London for Global Warming debate, How Parliament passed the Climate Bill:
Snow fell as the House of Commons debated Global Warming yesterday -
the first October fall in the metropolis since 1922. The Mother of
Parliaments was discussing the Mother of All Bills for the last time,
in a marathon six hour session.
In order to combat a projected two degree centigrade rise in global
temperature, the Climate Change Bill pledges the UK to reduce its
carbon dioxide emissions by 80 per cent by 2050. The bill was receiving
a third reading, which means both the last chance for both democratic
scrutiny and consent.
The bill creates an enormous bureaucratic apparatus for monitoring
and reporting, which was expanded at the last minute...
Recently the American media has begun to notice the odd incongruity
of saturation media coverage here which insists that global warming is
both man-made and urgent, and a British public which increasingly
doubts either to be true. 60 per cent of the British population now
doubt the influence of humans on climate change, and more people than
not think Global Warming won't be as bad "as people say".
Both figures are higher than a year ago - and the poll was taken before the non-summer of 2008, and the (latest) credit crisis.
No need to worry about American jobs being outsourced to the UK after that bill!
Will our congress follow suit? Blindly following Al Gore, our Pied Piper of Global Warming, marching down the road through early freezes and snow storms to Carbon Capping economic ruin?
Guess it depends on who is in charge: The Triumvirate of Obama, Pelosi, and Reid or McCain balancing that Democrat controlled Congress?
