Global Warming

Re “Weather Rewrote Record Books,” Jan. 6: So the November-December period was the coldest on record in the nation. Nonsense! Can’t be. Global warming is raging across the planet, we are told, because greenhouse gases are 30% higher than they were 100 years ago. Ergo, it must get hotter each year and cannot, under any circumstances, get colder. Unless, of course, there are other unreported factors that affect climate change.

I’ll turn my electric blanket up a notch tonight. Tomorrow morning, if I find an ice cube by my feet, I may believe the global-warming theory after all.
