Two news items crossing the desk on 6-11-07 prove the end may be nearer than we think.
First, Denver residents were shivering on June 11, 2007 as the city suffered its coldest June day in fifty years. The 31 degree reading was also the latest freeze on record for the city of Denver, according to the local paper, which said Denver temps have only gone sub-freezing two other times during the month of June; in 1919 and 1951.
The coldest June temperature ever recorded was 30 degrees on June 2, 1951. By the way, the record cold came on the heels of an announcement by Denver mayor Mayor John Hickenlooper that his new "climate action plan" would save Denver from global warming. Sounds like they can't act fast enough.
In other news, WIS TV in Columbia, Soith Carolina reported the following:
"SUMTER, SC - Four Sumter men are facing jail time after threatening another man with a poisonous snake.
Sumter police say the men pulled out a cottonmouth water moccasin outside of bar on Rast Street in Sumter.
Police were not able to locate the snake when they arrived, but say one of the suspects was bitten and had to be treated."
Assault with a deadly reptile? Surely the end is near.

This is just like the other comment...For one place to have record cold temperatures doesn't say anything about what the Earth as a whole is doing. This goes the other way also. A severe drought or hot spell in Georgia doesn't mean the entire Earth is getting hotter. This comment, like the last one, provides nothing that can be used against those who believe global warming is happening. Why continue to cite these events as evidence against global warming when they are so obviously irrelevant?

I still think the fact that you are blogging is a sign of the coming apocalypse.
Wait a minute, Bill, aren't you blogging, too? (Or, maybe just indulging in one of your guilty-pleasure pastimes, reading other people's comments so you can leave a smart-ass one yourself? And, at 5:30 in the morning, at that?)
BTW, the South Carolina thing doesn't surprise me at all, having lived there long enough to know. South Carolina is the equivalent of Jupiter.
