Do Scotland Sand Dunes Predict New Century Storms?
...storms get their power from the temperature differential between the polar regions and the equator. During a warm period, the Arctic may get 3–4 degrees C closer to the temperature of the equator, calming the storm activity. During a cold period, however, the Arctic and Antarctic may get up to 6–8 degrees cooler compared to the equator. This adds lots more power to the storms.

Who actually believes in global warming? Surely not our government or our governor, who have agreed to put millions of dollars in restoring the Everglades.

According to learned scientists, the oceans will rise three to five feet by the end of this century. So, the Everglades will be part of the ocean floor in about 80 years.

Maybe the next project will be to build a dike around the Everglades to protect it from the encroaching ocean.

Government's smart-meter estimate falls short by £6bn, expert claims - Times Online
Last week ministers gave a green light to install 47 million new gas and electricity meters, which can monitor energy use in real time, in every household in Britain. They said that the project could be completed at a cost of between £7 billion to £9 billion, or an average of £269 to £346 per household.

Ernst & Young, the audit firm, has rejected that estimate, arguing that the true cost would be at least 49 per cent higher, at about £13.4 billion, or £515 per household.
