"What a Tough Season"

"What a tough season." That'd make a great chapter title for a Ken Burn's doc if he were still making doc's in 50 years when global warming is really kicking our ass. That quote if from a Wisconsin farmer describing the utter nightmare that this season has been.

"It's all because of the weather," Lauer confirms. "July -- corn's big growing month -- was one of the coolest ever, and from mid-September on it's been damp and cool."


This is from a separate article also commenting on the potential for a moldy corn harvest or to having to leave the soy in the fields if it were to snow. Is the strange weather patterns a sign of global warming? There's a good chance of it. Though not all farmer's agree.

Grain harvest is late this year, and it's all because of the cool spring, summer and fall. "We need a little of that global warming we hear so much about," a Dane County corn grower recently said. "I really want to get the corn and beans harvested before the snow flies."


Is this not like saying Candyman five times into a mirror? I would only wish this kinda weather on Wall Street execs.
