Memorial weekend in the Great lakes. It sure does not look like the earth is facing catastrophic warmth though people are still dying from heat, as they are in India this month. We are being warned, almost every day in the news that we are facing a warming world but weathermen around the world are reporting record cold and snow.
On May 29 we saw a new record set for cold set in New Zealand. The new record is -6.4 degrees Celsius. The old record set in 1992 was -4.5 making the new record -1.9 degrees cooler. In a warming world we would not expect it to be getting cooler by record amounts. There is cold and snow and today is the first of June and there are reports of frosts and freeze warnings in Wisconsin and Michigan.
It is still snowing in Norway to the point of closing roads. One snow driver said, “Never experienced anything like this before.” We have blizzard conditions in Scotland as well on June 1st. Also record lows for the beginning of June were set in Boston and the coldest start in June in Adelaide Australia where the temperature dropped it 2.9 degrees Celsius.
