Not to be an alarmist, but I’m beginning to think those global warming people are on the right path. This month has to be one of the warmest and wettest May’s I can ever remember. Normally we don’t have to turn on the AC until early July, but we’ve had it in on for the past two weeks due to the heat. Plus with all the damned storms we can’t leave the windows open even when it is cool enough to turn off the AC. The lightening storms are an almost daily event at this point and I’ve been awakened from a deep sleep by thunder multiple nights now. Last night we had one crack so loud it set off every car alarm in the neighborhood.
Quite a bit of flooding around South Eastern Michigan this morning. Lots of homes and neighborhoods underwater with some folks saying that it’s the worst flooding they’ve seen in 30 years. A few more days of rain like the last couple and we’ll be breaking some records around here.

I guess you most probably know of this but Global Warming does not simply means that the temperature everywhere will increase. In fact one of the predictions if I recall correctly is that temperatures will fall in North America and Europe. This is due to the collapse of the Gulf Stream which has been shrinking for the past 20 years. Of course this is just a theory of what might happen.
But global warming is not just about the rising heat.
