Moderate Summer
Thursday, August 21st, 2008Here in Durham this summer has been very moderate. In fact, it has been cooler and less humid this summer than it has been any other year I have lived here or in all my years in Omaha. Not sure if the summer temperatures have been more moderate in other places this year, but we have not had any of those big week long MSM stories about strong heat waves posing a problem for people. This leads me to believe that we are having a pretty moderate summer. We are not hearing the MSM talk about this moderate summer at all. And whats really lacking is coverage about how this summer is problematic for global warming advocates.
Now we all know this moderate weather could just be an outlier which doesn’t really warrant much news coverage. However, MSM coverage of extremely hot summers typically do warrant coverage, and much of it is centered around global warming. However, such extreme hot summers could just be outliers having very little to do with Al Gore’s pet project. Why then does global warming coverage vary as a function of temperature outliers? When abnormal summers are hot we get lots of global warming coverage but when the abnormality is moderate we get no commentary on global warming?
I just hope we are not seeing the beginning of a global cooling. There is a scientific consensus after all.
