As I understand it, global warming now is responsible for the bitterly cold weather that has gripped much of the nation this year.

I gather from the papers that you have been having a severe winter in Michigan. Well, don't get too uppity about it. Down in Arizona, we have had some pretty chilly weather too. The temperature had been below freezing several mornings and the highs have been in the low 50s a number of times.

Now, the people who have been saying that the world is warming up and the ice caps are melting, now claim that all this cold weather is just part of it. Somehow, it is a matter of the world's weather in general being screwed up.

Personally, I blame it on UFOs. We haven't heard much about unidentified flying objects lately and that may be significant. There was a time there when every other week some couple reported being abducted by aliens and held aboard their space ship. During that period, the weather was pretty predictable and nobody talked about global warming.
