Weather Forecast

Taxpayer money at work: The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration put out its winter forcast today. For the Northeast, it predicts we "will either be warmer or cooler than normal." It then goes on to say that it will either be "wetter, dryer or normal precipitation."

Now that's what I call a forecast. Can't possibly be wrong.

And to think, these are the folks at the Fed who keep telling us with certainty that there is global warming, and that it will get worse.

But they did state that, so far, this season is one of the coldest, and that there has been NO "global warming" since 1995. None. Nada. Zilch (if you recall, I have been saying that right along). And the U.N. council on climate agrees, begrudgingly. I'll bet that is why Gore and the other "chicken littles" have stopped using the phrase "global warming", and started using "climate change". And that is their new way of trying to fool us again. Because as any Mainer can tell ya, the climate will ALWAYS change.

Since there really is no global warming, and, in fact, there may actually be a global cooling, it makes one wonder why governments and environmentalist keep screaming for us to act quickly to avert global warming. Could it possibly be about $$$$? The government tends to throw an incredible amount of taxpayer money to those who convince us there is a "crisis" that needs to be fixed.

I think I have just found a place where we can cut some tax expenditures...
