Mocking our dreams

The reality of climate change is that the engines of progress have
merely accelerated our rush to the brink
George Monbiot
Tuesday February 15, 2005

It is now mid-February, and already I have sown 11 species of
vegetable. I know, though the seed packets tell me otherwise, that they
will flourish. Everything in this country - daffodils, primroses,
almond trees, bumblebees, nesting birds - is a month ahead of schedule.
And it feels wonderful. Winter is no longer the great grey longing of
my childhood. The freezes this country suffered in 1982 and 1963 are,
unless the Gulf Stream stops, unlikely to recur. Our summers will be
long and warm. Across most of the upper northern hemisphere, climate
change, so far, has been kind to us.

Being from the PA region it does seem like the winters are becoming
more colder as compared to past winters. I know that there are
exceptions - most notable that ice storm that we had a few years back.
I haven't sown any seeds - but am glad you reminded me about it.
There are certain cold weather plants that can be planted as soon as
the ground can be worked.

Global warming WILL affect the Gulf Stream, and not in the way he
would like. Buy Florida swamp land. The cooler climate will dry it
out, and you'll be able to sell plots to all the Yankees fleeing the
glaciers.
