It is unlikely that the Anthropogenic Climate Change disciples of NASA wack job James Hansen and Anti-Development-Pope Al Gore will quote that statement from the NOAA. The writer lives in New York, and it has been cool spring and summer. We have had one day of 90, and that was in April. Usually, by this time of the year, we've had dozens of days in the high 80s and 90s, with some occasionally in the 100s. Of course, what's the matter of actual evidence compared to the beauty of an all-encompassing theory?

Wait! Isn't that what Intelligent Design people say?

And here we thought the White House was bringing “science” back into the poltical debate. It was religion all along!
