As the global-warming alarmists run around in attempts to convince us all that the sky is, indeed, falling, the following climate news has occurred in the span of 2 weeks:
- For the first time in recorded history, Austin and Dallas - Ft. Worth, Texas experienced snow in the month of April;
- At last weekend's Masters tournament in Augusta, Georgia (the golf community's annual ritual and rite of spring) the start of play was delayed on 3 of 4 mornings due to frost on the greens. The last time I checked a US atlas, Augusta was still in the deep-south, a region known more for oppressive heat and humidity than pond-hockey;
- Charlotte, North Carolina (where I reside) set a record low temperature of 21-degrees Fahrenheit during the over-night hours of April 8th. This was the lowest temperature ever recorded for the month of April, not just for April 8th.
- And, as if to add an exclamation point to the above, in Boston, MA (home of Sen. John Kerry, one of the most vocal of the alarmist crowd) the famous Boston Marathon was contested in miserable weather, and where the Boston Globe described: as "among the worst conditions in the event's 111-year-history"; where spectators "were shivering, bundled in heavy coats and ponchos"; and where "The cold and damp conditions sent at least two runners to the emergency room of Newton-Wellesley Hospital, where they were treated for hypothermia."
