Loading ...part, Throughout the Northeast, beaches and mountain campgrounds have been discouragingly cold. And around the Great Lakes and in northern New England, temperatures have lately dipped into the 30’s.
“I don’t think I’ve ever seen that in July,” Jim Wagner, a veteran analyst at the National Weather Service’s Climate Analysis Center at Camp Springs, Md., said of the low readings in the North. “It’s almost reminiscent of the year without a summer in 1816.”
That summer, one year after the Mount Tambora volcano in Indonesia erupted and blanketed the earth with sulfurous airborne particles that reflected sunlight and cooled the globe, upstate New York and New England suffered killing frosts every month of the season, and it snowed throughout New England in June. This year, another global volcanic haze, flung into the stratosphere by the eruption of Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines in June 1991, has turned the sky in some places from blue to milky white as it scatters the sun’s rays.

We need global warming to over ride the global cooling from volcanoes. Sarcasm of course, I don’t believe in global warming. It was and is in my view a socialist redistribution of wealth scheme and an artificial creation of unneeded occupations, unneeded creation of unneeded services, enforcements parts etc etc.
