People don’t realize that what we call “climate” is an average of what has happened for as long as records have been kept. Here in Florida the first half of the year was the driest I have seen. Then June and July were unusually wet, with the result that we are now back to “normal” in terms of rainfall.

Climate does change. I understand that until the late 1880’s hurricanes used to hit the coast of California quite regularly, with the moisture from them flowing up into the southwest and midwest U.S. This then led to the Dust Bowl, when the weather went back to what we call “normal” for an extended period, and the middle of the country dried out. We could go back to the earlier weather patterns, and no doubt the result would be heralded as the worst disaster in history as all those multi-million dollar houses slid down those collapsing hills, – and it would all be blamed on Global Warming.

If you have worked in DC you can see where Global Warming comes from. It is the result of all those Congressmen and their aides (around 23,000 people all total) warming those chairs for extended periods. The scientific community knows what kind of dog and pony show it takes to enable them to pursue their personal ambitions and reacts accordingly.

By the way, I take heart in the fact that Global Warming is now called Climate Change. When the Left started losing the Gun Control debate they changed the name to Gun Safety. They know things are coming unzipped.
