Oh no say it ain't so. Now we're gonna have to burn all those ficticious books and studies on global warming just to stay warm.

ReplyDeleteI only go by the Chinese weather records that go back well over 400 years.A trend can somewhat be identified in that length of time,but thousands of years would be more like it.
