The Weather is Different than it use to was

Patrick Michaels, Virginia State Climatologist, had an interesting perspective on the way we view climate. The weather we grew up with is "normal" and any differences from that is not "normal." Hadn't thought of it quite like that. Michael's article was intended to poke a few holes in the global warming fearocracy by pointing out that the weather in central Virginia has changed much since 1895. We are not going through some very unusual warming/cooling. Interesting that the facts get in the way of our perceptions and our fears.
