Can you say "global climate change"?

OK, so we had approximately zero rain from May until last week. Trees dying, perennials dying, lawns dying... Yesterday AND today, we broke records for single-day rainfall amounts, with nearly two inches each day. Which theoretically cuts the drought deficit to "only" four inches. Too late for many plants, of course. Meanwhile, Georgia is in crisis because of the drought, southern California is burning, and the dweebs who write letters to The Enquirer STILL say global warming is a myth.

And if you really want to raise your blood pressure, listen to Mike McConnell (700 WLW mornings, if you haven't stumbled over him yet) on the subject of global warming. "I hope it does get warmer," says Mike. "I don't like scraping my car." I emailed him mid-September when it was 106 to ask if he still thought it was a good idea if things got warmer. One word response: "Yep."
