What About Global Warming???

Hmm, maybe we should have elected Al Gore. Whenever he gets on the job, our problems seem to disappear
There have been only eight days this summer in which temperatures reached 90 degrees at Reagan National Airport -- the fewest since 1906. On average, the airport records 26 days that hot. In August, there was only one such day, provoking the normally restrained National Weather Service to call the month "rather pleasant."


Yes, its been quite a nice summer. Still, with all the talk about Bush being an agent of armegedon and doom, its a bit strange don't you think. I thought man had irreversibly impacted the earths climate models. Weren't the ice caps going to melt, forcing the gulf stream to halt and the end of the world to occur The Day After Tomorrow?
The explanation for the absence of withering heat in Washington has to do, as it often does in summer, with the Bermuda high. Usually, a high-pressure system sits over the region in summer and prevents much weather activity from coming in. Heat builds up each day, producing afternoon thunderstorms. But they do not get rid of the warmth, and the cycle goes on.
Huh!?!?!?! Does this mean that weather is a naturally occuring phenomana that might change year to year????

Who woulda guessed?
