10 Aug 09 – “July 2009 was officially the coldest July on record in
six U.S. states, according to the National Climatic Data Center,”
said an article today in USA today. “Specifically, Iowa, Illinois,
Indiana, Ohio, West Virginia and Pennsylvania.”
“Not one of the coldest, mind you, but the absolute, rock-bottom,
chilliest on record. Records go back to 1895. Meanwhile, four others –
Michigan, Wisconsin, Missouri and Kentucky — had their 2nd-coldest July
ever recorded.”
We’re not talking about a record cold day
here, mind you, but
an entire month. Nor are we
talking about just one small town
breaking a record, we’re
talking six entire states! With four
more states on the runner-up
list!
The article then goes on to remind us that even
while these
states were breaking the low
temperature records, that much
of the rest of the world was
warmer than usual – perhaps due
to El Nino.

Extent of glaciation during
the last ice age |
What concerns me is that many
of these states were covered
with glaciers during the last
ice age, while the states lying to
the south
weren’t much colder than today.
This means that even if other
parts of the world are basking
in the sun, the northern-tier
states could turn into frigid ice
boxes. They’ve done it in the
past. Why would now be any
different?
Senators, wake up! We’re going to need
every ounce of energy
that we can lay our hands on.
