No one is acknowledging that there was a massive solar flare this past winter, which was the reason for all of the beautiful northern lights displays. Some of which went all the way as far as Nevada. So the Earth's magnetic field is recovering from this and we're going to have a warmer summer, fall, and winter as a result of the Earth doing its job working through the energy absorbed in the ionosphere. This solar flare is a fact, not a theory like global warming being caused by CO2. I can't get over the panic that these people in the news agencies are causing, and the absolute needless fear that people are living with. It's traumatizing children these days. They promised us that the polar ice caps would completely melt by 2014 and that coastal cities would be underwater.
