#1 We have had very cool weather here for the last 6 days. Lows near 50 and highs around 80. Is Al Gore back in Tennessee?

#2 Is Al Gore back in Tennessee? I suspect he's out of state on vacation. When he turned out the lights in his TN palace, the temps in the entire state dropped several degrees.

#3 Not just Chicago. Here in SE Iowa, it's been pretty cool, too. I've even been able to take the Tsarevich to the local playground at high noon without worrying about overheating the little guy.

Toss in the fact that last winter was really snowy and cold, and global warming's looking better and better each day.

#4 No, no, Swamp Blondie! Do not wish for global warming! It will mean the death of all of mankind, and possibly of all life on earth! It has never been warmer on Earth since, well, forever.
Ignore all those inconvenient truths about the Medieval Warm period, and the fact that we are coming out of a little ice age.
