Weather Journal 8 April

Today it's about temperatures. Our current reading of 30 degrees is far from abnormal for the US. There are readings in the 30's in places like New Mexico- 38 in Albuquerque, 30 at Brady Texas and Alabama which has a 30 degree spot in Alexander City.

Coldest of all is Crane Lake MN at 0 with Needles California warmest at 97.

For us the 30's will be as good as it gets until Tuesday. This afternoon we may even get Sun as an Easter nature treat.

As per usual when it comes to truth telling due to some interventions by the US and China yesterday's climate change impact report comes up a bit short. The US got a section stating that there will need to be reduction in greenhouse gases omitted. As one commentator said this puts the US in a position of enabling at the least, denial at the worst.

Today's closing comes from Orwell, "If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear." Preface to Animal Farm (1946)
