More overwhelming global warming evidence: Texas spring so incredibly warm that frost only killed 99% of this guy's peach crop

Jun. 6--Hill Country residents looking for home-grown peaches this year may have to change their address to an east Texas ZIP code, or settle for local strawberries, blackberries and vegetables instead.

An early April frost killed the majority of the peach crop this year, leaving farmers and orchard growers scrambling to fill the void left by the devastating freeze.

"We lost 99 percent of our peach crop this year," said Gary Marburger, owner of Marburger Orchard near Fredericksburg. "The peaches we did save are really small, which usually means too much fruit on the tree, but the seeds are dead and they just fell off the tree."

Time for gas tax honesty in B.C.

When the B.C. government fell for the consensus rhetoric of the global warming alarmists and introduced the carbon tax on July 1, 2008, people were outraged enough to boost the NDP's popularity over the governing Liberals for the first time in years. The NDP even tried to use the carbon tax as a wedge issue in the 2009 election, but with lower gasoline prices and worries about the economy, it didn't work.
