The day we buried my 100 year old grandmother was the first break below 100 degrees for a high that we had seen in weeks. It rained that day.
In the last few years we have seen historical (100 years plus) cold temperatures and snowfall that I could have only wished for as a child.
Natural Climate Change Deniers will chastise me saying that it's "just weather," but I notice that those same critics never once criticized Al Gore for using weather events and Styrofoam icebergs to make his fortune in fear mongering.
(Hypocritical?)
And is it a coincidence that the 80's and 90's saw a very active sun, as measured by sunspot activity?
And for the last 2 decades the cycle is reversed to the point that the current cycle is the quietest in a century.
Sun quiet again during weakest solar cycle in more than century...
