Global Warming… It’s The Sun, Stupid
How does the Farmers Almanac predict weather?
We derive out weather forecasts from a secret formula that was devised by the founder of this Almanac, Robert B. Thomas, in 1792. Thomas believed that weather on Earth was influenced by sunspots, which are magnetic storms on the surface of the Sun.
Over the years, we have refined and enhanced that formula with state-of-the-art technology and modern scientific calculations. We employ three scientific disciplines to make our long-range predictions: solar science, the study of sunspots and other solar activity; climatology, the study of prevailing weather patterns; and meteorology, the study of the atmosphere. We predict weather trends and events by comparing solar patterns and historical weather conditions with current solar activity.

Brillaint. You coined our rejoinder: "It’s the sun, stupid."
Good work.

Whacky is well-named… And valuable at least for his/her/its spelling faux pas… "BrillAINT" should be a new word, short for "brilliant it ain’t"…
You might stop to ask if the venerable Almanac is any better than any other scat-reader… They ain’t…

Possum, has there ever been a post or comment from you that does not either (a) engage in ad-hominim (personal) attack, or (b) dribbled expletives? I can’t think of one "offering" from you which does not include one or the other - and generally, both. It’s very tiresome.
