Wonderful stuff!

Exhibit 3

26 August 2006
Spring is arriving earlier each year as a result of climate change, the first “conclusive proof” that global warming is altering the timing of the seasons, scientists announced yesterday……
“Not only do we clearly demonstrate change in the timing of seasons, but that change is much stronger in countries that have experienced more warming,” said Tim Sparks, an environmental scientist on the study at the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology at Monks Wood near Huntingdon……
“One of the biggest problems is that species don’t adapt to warming at the same rate. So if you have a bird that feeds on an insect that relies on a certain plant for food, and any one of those responds to warming differently to the others, the whole system can break down,” he said.

And recently we had:

Rare birds killed off after migration north sees them face freezing temperatures back in UK
Rare birds have fallen victim to Britain’s prolonged cold weather with the bodies of several breeds found dead across the country.

And 5 days before the start of Spring:

15 March 2013
Migrating birds leave frozen Germany
Huge flocks of migratory birds, such as cranes, lapwings and golden plovers, have been returning to Germany over the last couple of weeks after spending the winter in warmer climes. Many of them have now turned around and left thanks to the cold weather.
A lack of food was driving the birds out of the country, Matthias Werner from the national ornithological institute said on Thursday. Hundreds of them made a brief stop-over in northern Hesse, he added.

I have to say that I am becoming extremely impressed by what CO2 can achieve, if this global warming becomes any colder it will become a real bitch. One can only wonder why El Nino has been so shy of late, could it possibly be connected to the sun being on holidays.
Perhaps the experts at NASA could inform us as to the suns normal roster and the length of vacation to be expected, this would give us an idea as to how much oil, gas and coal futures to invest in.

Last year my daylilies started blooming on April 2. This year the first bloom was yesterday, April 23, a full three weeks later. Here in central Virginia the cold has not been as extreme as in Duluth (we lived in Superior WI for three years in the 1970s), but March was just cold, and except for a warm week April has been also. Most days have been at least somewhat colder than average for the time of year. Today we are predicted to feel 80 degrees; I’ll wait to see.

“From the Scotsman newspaper:
TWO German tourists who arrived in Scotland for a holiday at the end of February have finally left after being stranded in a remote glen by a snow storm for five weeks.”
I was in Scotland back in 1993, on the first leg of a European trip. It was mid May so I didn’t pack a jacket. That was a mistake. I’d not quite realized how far north Scotland is and that therefore they have only two seasons: winter and July. It’s a lovely country but why anyone would want to go there in February escapes me.

This is all perfectly in line with the alarmist fantasy as chronicled in the most scientifically sound (cough) prophetic documentary (cough) “The Day After Tomorrow” where global warming induces an ice age and the evil Republican politician that was so worried about little things like the economy has to admit the super brave and heroic alarmist paleoclimatologist was right all along to be more worried about trace gases in the atmosphere disrupting the climate.

It is April 24th. By now we usually have hummingbirds return to western Colorado for the summer. It has been below freezing every morning, a bit warmer a dawn yesterday, but with snow. It has been in the teens in the past week and is currently about 20°F. It will be at least a couple more weeks before we have any flowers for the hummers to feed upon, assuming the buds survive this late freeze.

“There is no corresponding anti-snowfall record.”
The Hockey Team is hard at work on this.

I fail to see what is so unprecedented about these lows.
The last freeze date in North Central Kansas is May 5th.

Slightly damaging frost the other morning here in western MD — 26F. Tired of the cold…..

Well brace your selves for the flood of extreme weather claims due over the next two weeks.
As the moon crossed the equator headed South on the 22nd, the secondary tidal bulge in the atmosphere is rebuilding up off of the equator and will arrive with warm moist air to power the main spring out break of tornadoes, as the Moon is maximum culmination South on the 28th and we are in peak synod conjunction with Saturn, both will effectively combine to move more than usual amounts of warmth and moisture into the now frozen snow clogged streams.
The warm rain and rapid snow melting on frozen ground will make the news with the floods at the same time the tornadoes peak from the 27th until around May 5th when the moon crosses the equator headed North to bring in the rest of the spring thaw and more rains.
Be ready for the extreme meme to pop up in the media again and blame it on CO2 what done it!
