Yes, it is hot. But...

Call me a procrastinator, but I have finally made up my mind on the global warming issue. And, it is a non-issue. Is it getting warmer? Yes. Did humans have anything to do with it? No. Historical and geologic records are better than anything most scientists have come up with and they show one thing: Earth has occasional climate changes, with big ones about every 10,000 years and minor ones about every 2000. Well, we are due for both. So, sit back, crank up the A/C. As we said in central Illinois, "If you don't like the weather, wait around and it will change."

Here is something else the panikers have neglected: in all of their research, they left out the opinions and data of meteorologists, the people who actually study the atmosphere. These experts pretty much are in agreement: we are due for a climate change. So give your weatherman a break if your picnic is rained out.

And finally, my suspicions from 2000 were confirmed. Al Gore is an egocentric loon.
