Two weeks ago, when CP joined hundreds of activists to call attention to global warming, the hyper-conservative, head-in-the-sand bloggers were quick to poke fun at us because it was a cold, snowy day in Annapolis. Well, here's mud in your eyes. Today CP joined about a dozen other climate activists to meet with House Speaker Mike Busch and Majority Leader Kumar Barve, the sponsor of current legislation to address global warming. As we looked outside from Busch's office, the unusual, record-breaking temperatures were on our minds. In our region, today's minimum temperature was higher than the daily maximum average! Yup--our low was 45 degrees and the normal maximum is 43 degrees. But it gets weirder, as anyone who poked outside this morning knew. Our high today was 72 degrees and the average maximum for today, as stated above is 43. The previous record was 70 degrees set in 1938.
Okay- so it's only one day you say? What about tornadoes across the Midwest and thunderstorms in the South? It's February! As CP's son said today, "It's unnatural."

I'm genuinely assuming that you're being ironic and that you understand that global warming is measured in tenths of degrees across several decades, and not a sudden warmup in the middle of winter, right?

I do not buy into this whole global warming frenzy. I think we have a lot of different data and statistics that can be used and interperted in several different ways.
