Global warming

One of the folksy aspects of our local paper, the Lowell Ledger, are stories from the past.  Every week they run little clips from 25 years ago, 50 years ago, 75 years ago and 100 years ago.  Recently, one of those clips caught my eye.  It was from January 1907.  Apparently, the weather was so warm that winter that people were enjoying fresh produce from their gardens.  This made me stop and ponder the whole global warming issue.

I can remember a January in 70s that was so warm, I played a round of golf in my short sleeved shirt.  And I drove to the golf course with the top down on my convertible.  And I can remember other Januaries when it was so cold that wild animals were freezing.  This winter has been relatively mild with temperatures hoovering in the mid thirties.  Yet, three years ago, the temperature stayed close to zero most of the winter.  Is it really global warming or just cycles in the weather?

  1. Good post. I study one thing more challenging on different blogs everyday. It’s going to at all times be stimulating to learn content from other writers and follow just a little something from their store. I’d prefer to make use of some with the content on my blog whether you don’t mind. Natually I’ll offer you a link in your net blog. Thanks for sharing.
