Snow. Snow in Las Vegas, snow in New Orleans, snow in Houston.
Now all you Gore haters are going "What is he talking about? Snow! It must be getting colder - that Global Warming story is all crap!".
Sorry to inform you, this is exactly what was anticipated to happen with global warming. Wetter weather with a little cold snap creates snow - lots of snow.
2008 is the coldest 'warm' year in the last 10 year cycle. This is primarily due to a moderate to strong La Nina in the Pacific. If you want to know what is going on in the artic - check out the Artic Sea Ice News. The most troubling aspect of this to me, is the warming of the artic via the ocean. I am hoping some naturally occurring counter balance to this will happen - perhaps more cloud cover due to increased evaporation.
Even if you don't believe that humans have caused this latest warming cycle - I'm surprised at the lack of preparation for the next 50 years. Watch for the Chinese to start planning - at least they have a historical culture that thinks about multigenerational planning.
We're just happy we're on high ground.
