That's Global Warming?

"Mother Earth" Apparently Has A Strange Sense Of Humor...


Don't tell perennial Global Warming Guru Al Gore, but yesterday it snowed down in Buenos Aires for the first time since 1918.

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina - Thousands of Argentines cheered and threw snowballs in the streets of Buenos Aires on Monday as the capital's first major snowfall since 1918 spread a thin white mantle across the region...

The snow followed a bitter cold snap in late May that saw subfreezing temperatures, the coldest in 40 years in Buenos Aires. That cold wave contributed to an energy crisis and 23 deaths from exposure.

I guess that being in the weather business could be considered to be a dangerous profession these days, because the folks down at the National Hurricane Center had an uprising and tossed out their leader over some kind of internal disagreement.

Like everything else in our society, I wish that the technicians would be allowed to do their respective jobs and the politicians and bureaucrats would just shut up and get the heck out of the way.

Know what I mean???
