My "Global Warming" Week

New York enjoying another day of global warming.

My global warming week started off in Zacatecas Mexico, where during a business lunch we looked outside and it was snowing! The snow accumulated a bit to the point that we were able to engage in a minor snowball fight; the absolute last thing I would have expected to be doing in Mexico. Zacatecas is Mexico’s second highest city at slightly above 7,000 feet and locals tell me that once every decade or so they get a tiny dusting. I returned home via Mexico City where it was certainly colder than I expected and most folks were bundled up. Upon returning home, I noticed that my palm trees in the back yard are dying from the prolonged cold, as are thousands of other palm trees in town that have survived for decades. The next day I flew to Washington DC via Minneapolis where I changed planes. It was 12 degrees below zero in Minneapolis and my butt froze just stepping off the plane into the terminal sleeve. The sky was clear for most of the flight and I can say that from Utah all the way to Minneapolis and then on to Washington DC, the entire landscape is covered in white and pretty much looks like the polar ice cap for thousands of miles. The Potomac was frozen over in DC and folks are describing this as one of the coldest winters to hit the area since 1936. When I finally got back home yesterday, I described all of this to a lefty friend of mine and he says that “oh sure, global warming means colder winters.” You simply cannot win with these folks. If it’s too hot, it’s “global warming” if it’s too cold it’s...you guessed it, “global warming.” Hurricane katrina two years ago? Global warming. No Hurricane's at all last year? Global warming. Talk about the perfect argument, the global warming crowed are “right” no matter what happens.
