A Few Words About Climate Change On The Purple Wisconsin Site

Commentary, data, graphics. Perfect for the Journal Sentinel's web platform Saturday:

Feels like August today, right? Too much ozone from hydrocarbons from our tailpipes and smokestack, to boot - - and didn't we say even as 'winter' was ending that it already felt like July? 83 degrees in La Crosse - - on March 17th!

Anon. Perhaps you should spend more time conducting actual research rather than spouting your ignorant rants about a scientific theorem. While isolated increases or decreases in temperature alone do not signify global warming, it is the overall increase in global temperatures that pose great concern. Global warming is only an indicator of the problem, which is the accelerated onset of a new ice age.

Done. And we're paying less for electricity as a result!

The entire Midwest is filling up with dead wood because of the mild winters. Without the deep chill to kill bugs, they increase their numbers and kill trees. Those of us who pay soem fucking attention to the world around us are not very happy about the prospect of wildfires all around Wisconsin.
