Yet another cool summer day caused me to check out the Indianpolis weather statistics. Indianapolis has only had two 90 degree days this summer. Where is the global warming we were promised?
Okay, I know it's ridiculous to make generalizations about long-term temperature trends of a 4.5 billion year old planet based on the weather of the moment. However, if this summer were a scorcher, I'm sure the Man is Causing Global Warming Which Will Wreak Devastation on the Planet Earth Crowd would have been all over the temperature as proof of their hypothesis.
Here's what my research showed in terms of 90 degree days over the past 13 years:
2008: 2 (thus far)
2007: 37
2006: 10
2005: 21
2004: 0
2003: 6
2002: 36
2001: 11
2000: 5
1999: 27
1998: 14
1997: 11
1996: 11
In that 13 year period, we've never had a 90 degree day in May. Here's the website so you can check it out yourself. http://www.crh.noaa.gov/ind/local_cli.php

No need to worry about the "Man is Causing Global Warming Which Will Wreak Devastation on the Planet Earth." After all, Mars, Jupiter, Pluto, and half a dozen moons in the solar system are also warming. Must be the SUV driving Martians causing havoc. Or, more likely, the one common denominator: the sun.
