You are better off looking out your window to see what it's doing than listening to the weather channel/report.

It was like the sky is falling. Global cooling? I went to a wedding in Chattanooga in July 1978 and the temperature was 103 in the shade. These people were not so vocal for years until they came up with global warming. With the freezing temeratures last year they now call it "climate change". That's because it saves a lot of time and explanations when it gets cool and when it gets hot. What I have never understood is how scientists or anybody else knows how cold or warm it was centuries ago when there was no way to record temperatures and records were not kept. Also if meteorologists can't predict the weather accurately for the next week, how can they predict the weather for years in the future. All through history we have heard from these alarmists and when nothing happens they fold up their signs and their tents and go home. I've said it once and I'll say it again puny man has no control of nature's forces. All we can do is adjust to any extremes the best way we can. We cannot change the weather and our actions have no effect on it at all. I remember the hype back in the 70s. It was like the sky is falling. Global cooling?

Turn the thermostat up

Tear out attic insulation.

Build large bonfires.

etc.

That’l fix it…
