Is the earth getting warmer?

Apparently not last winter.

Americans living in the Midwest who had seen several waves of ice and snow last winter could be forgiven for wondering whether global warming is real.

And they might be right. University of Oklahoma geophysicist David Deming points out that in 2007:

Snow fell in Buenos Aries for the first time since 1918;
Snow fell in Baghdad, Iraq for the first time since 1908;
Johannesburg, South Africa, had its first significant snowfall in 26 years;
Closer to home, an April freeze killed 95 percent of South Carolina’s peach crop;
Denver, Charlotte, North Carolina, Meacham, Oregon, and St. Cloud, Minnesota, all set record lows last winter;
And the Canadian government claims it had the coldest winter in 15 years.

Maybe that’s why Al Gore released his global warming film “An Inconvenient Truth” . . . in the summer.
