An Inconvenient Truth Terminology: You might have noticed that “Global Warming” activists are quietly morphing into “Climate Change” activists. This is particularly convenient, since the last few months were the coldest spring on record in many places and in the U.K. they’ve had the coldest spring since 1891. Some are predicting that this summer could be the coldest since 1816 in Europe. (1816 is remembered as “the year without a summer.”) Perhaps in another 10 or 20 years, the Al Goristas will claim that their dire predictions of higher temperatures and rising sea levels were “misunderstood” by the media, and what they really meant to say was that lower temperatures and lower sea levels are expected, because mankind has broken Planet Earth’s thermostat–so that “climate change” can now push temperatures one way or the other. I’m no climate expert, so I’ll defer to meteorologist Joe Bastardi on this issue. Keep your snow shovels handy, folks.
