The Year Without Summer

According to the NOAA Climate Prediction Center, parts of the United States will find out that cold is a bigger problem than warm. I doubt it will be as bad as the last Year Without Summer if for no other reason than we have better food preservation and distribution. But it will be interesting to see what the public response will be to the evangelists of anthropogenic global warming when their kids are still wearing winter coats on the 4th of July.

And yes, I'm swinging back to a larger number of smaller, single-topic posts rather than large, multi-topic ramblings. For now. This likely won't be the last time I switch.
