Remember, there are lies, damned lies and statistical anomalies.
Judson, I can't be too pissed as I spelled that one correctly.

I blame lexdicsia.
Then there's statistical clustering.
I just shake my head when folks point out tornados, hurricanes, glacier
melt, bird migration changes, dust storms, and mass shootings (I'm not
kidding) are the result of GW. When confronted, however, with the coldest
recorded temperatures ever, increased depth of Antartic ice, etc., they go
all nuts and scream "weather is not climate!"
Still, putzing around in the GW war gives their life meaning. Since their
own puny affairs are not worth minding, they busy themselves minding other
people's business. No harm, really, except for all this carbon sequestration
scam.
Oh well, a few hundred a year to provide comfort for so many is not too much
a burden. Cheaper than pills.
