The Summer Solstice arrives!

It's been a very bizarre weather year, to date. Last year was an El Nino year, and this is
a La Nina year, the follow-up. These years are characterized by unusual and often dramatic
weather events. In the constant reporting of potential global warming, one might think
that these dramatic weather storms and temperature shifts are a result of same; however,
the El Nino/La Nina events already have a weather history.    

Along with the reporting of the global warming potential, there is another "potential"
being advanced by some scientists. A recent article by Lawrence Solomon, the author of The
Deniers, in The Financial Post, espoused the possibility of a Little Ice Age. The previous
Little Ice Ages, in history, seem to have been related to a lessening in sun spot
activity. In Shakespeare's time, Europe was bitterly cold, in sharp contrast to the very
warm weather that preceeded his birth. If there is a cooling trend, then this will affect
the growing season in areas that are currently the "bread basket" (both Canada and the
U.S. would therefore be affected).   

In all the concern over global warming, should we also pay attention to a current cooling
trend? Our civilization might be under stress, but it might be coming from another
direction, entirely.

Be open minded, and be informed!

Meantime, enjoy the pleasure of the longest day of the year, and, if your skies are clear
where you live, look up to the stars!  

It's summer!

The Longest Day of the Year.  Great.  I'll have more time to get things going.  I invited friends to dinner, so more time to cook and clean.  How fun.
