Doesn’t feel like globe is warming
I suppose I shouldn’t poke fun of the people who have turned “global warming” into their own religion, but I am sincerely waiting for some warmer weather. I understand that global warming zealots are in line for billions of dollars of grants and other contracts, and I am fully aware of the almost comical e-mail leaks of scientists who manipulated data about the earth’s temperature.By Bernie Kuntz, Outdoors , January 15, 2010
