Last week, it rained here in Arizona the day before and the day of Thanksgiving. It was one of the coldest Thanksgivings I can remember, and I’ve lived in the Valley of the Sun since the latter portion of 1969. One Thanksgiving a few decades back, it was over 90 degrees F, and my face is glistening with sweat in all the outdoor family pics we took that Thanksgiving. Yeah, it didn’t help that I naively thought I should wear my new mint-green angora pullover sweater with mock turtleneck collar just because it was the end of November.
Hot now? Nope. Cold now? Yep.
The following update on the global warming delusion (or hoax, as some call it) was reported by Fox News:
Wesley Pruden of the Washington Times says former vice president and climate change activist Al Gore may need an extra blanket.
In a piece entitled The Killer Frost for Global Warming, Pruden writes that although winter has barely arrived, “The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration —NOAA — reports 63 record snowfalls in the United States, 115 lowest-ever temperatures for the month. Only 44 Octobers over the past 114 years have been cooler than this last one.”
He also points to the fact that many experts now concede the earth has not warmed since 1995, adding, “Even the United Nations says so. The director of the U.N.’s Panel on Climate Change concedes that nature has overwhelmed everything man can do.”
He also says Gore no longer warns of global warming but decries climate change instead. “On average, ‘climate change’ covers every possibility.”

About the author
I'm a conservative frugalist.
My priorities: Watchdogging the government, making sure our tax dollars are spent wisely, living within our budgets (at home and in Washington, DC), and adhering to our Constitution and the conservative principles upon which it was developed by our founding fathers. Also, loving God, my family, and my country.
Be wise, be frugal. God bless America!
