I got a response....

[lonestarnot]

If you saw Kerin Chetry and thie Farmers' Almanac lady attempting to further float "a theory out there that warming trend is based on solar cycles and that in a few years when the solar cycles change, the weather may actually cool off." I guess I must admit that the tone of the two pissed me off when I was watching them.




My email from this a.m to CNN re Farmers' Almanac ding-a-ling

Got sand? How about ostriches? Where did you get that woman in New York with regard to "No global warming?" She was embarrassing to the U.S. population.

> MY RESPONSE:I heard what you said, and it would take more than you to confuse me. Your
email response even has tacky errors in it. It is your "stupid" viewers
that I worry about. You attempted to further confuse them regarding the
issue of global warming. You are certainly guilty of mixing the issue of
temperature and global warming, you and your chum CNN Fox Snooze import.
Apparently you are both just bimbos and to be pitied. And further more, the
landmark 2007 United Nations report signed onto by 113 countries and more
than 1,000 scientists essentially confirming global warming,is not a "theory
of a warming trend based on solar cycles," a bushet pipe dream specifically
dreamed up by some other bushet and touted on CNN by Farmers' Almanac in an
attempt to distort or feebly attempt to counter the real issue of global
warming and the dramatic rise of CO2.

AND I got this from another dude.


Hello _________:

I tried to clarify your concern (what was said) in my blog. It can be found on www.farmersalmanac.com.

(****I don't know what to think of the above guy) LOL Because I never found what he was talking about on his blog. I admit I am pretty tired though, so I might have overlooked it.

Winter, Global Warming, Groundhog Day…

Posted on January 31st, 2008 by pgeiger

Everyone is talking about the weather and it’s impact on our lives. Managing Editor, Sandi Duncan, Philom. was a guest on CNN American Morning earlier today. The setting was a park in NYC and the question - where’s the snow. Yes, NYC has been spared the misery of winter (so far) , but all around the Northeast, Midwest, and West, there has been more than ample snows and cold this winter.

The interviewer touched on Global Warming. Sandi and the Farmers’ Almanac recognize that gas emissions are not helping our quality of life. Ever since 1818 when the Farmers’ Almanac started, we have provided useful advice, tips and articles on ways to live in harmony with our great planet. In the 2008 edition we have an article that suggests ways we can all live more responsibly and, peppered throughout this site, we offer unique ways we can live life in a more sustainable fashion.

The question posed to Sandi “is this year’s wild weather due to Global Warming?” Her response and the Almanac’s is ” we don’t take global warming into consideration when doing our forecasts. Our predictions are based on a formula that takes solar cycles, astronomical data and others factors into play, but not global warming.” There are obvious warming trends, however, our long-range outlook for a cold winter on the East has been every accurate. But, why hasn’t NYC seen snow? That is a good question and according to our predictions, winter is far from over. A couple months ago there was great concern about the drought that had gripped the Southeast. We felt that this winter would be wet for this zone and Mother Nature has really “poured it on”

But, in the meantime, we all need to do our part and protect the Earth. Greenhouse emissions do need to be reduced for obvious reasons. Farmers’ Almanac Television is all about “Sustainable Living”.

On Saturday morning we will hear form Punxsutawney Phil and other groundhogs about the rest of the winter. We think there is 6 more weeks but will give the little critters their time in the spotlight.

Check out our show on Public Television and add farmersalmanac.com o your favorite websites.

4. He left out some stuff that was said on the air. The stuff that pissed me off.

And thanks Journeyman for finding this. I would have looked again later, but might have missed it.

5. eeewwweee! I thought I smelled it!

He has been nationally recognized for his contributions to education, most notably receiving President George H.W. Bush’s 618th “Point of Light” award in 1991.
