Submitted by From Staff Reports on Thu, 07/02/2009 - 15:06

GRAY -- It really has been colder than usual for this time of year.  Record breaking cold in fact.

The National Weather Service says Portland had the coldest maximum temperature on record for July 1 on Wednesday, with a high of only 59 degrees recorded at the Portland
International Jetport. The old record was 62 degrees, set in 1976.

Also on Wednesday, the temperature range -- from a low of 56 to a high of 59 -- was just 3 degrees, setting a record for the smallest daily temperature range in Portland for July 1.

Don't know about you, but I've watched the detailed weather forcast VERY closely for several weeks now.  They don't know and can't predice SH*T from shinola, even an hour in advance.  Rain predicted, no rain.  Sun, no sun.  Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong.

Keep in mind these are the same "computer models" that are predicting the horrific "global warming".  I trust them, how about YOU?

I guess the "science" of Global Warming sums up the state of education in this country. Where else would record low temperatures signal a warming trend and the end of world? Hey Gore. There's an Ice Age coming. Wake up before you miss it.

The belief in global warming is a psuedo religion. No matter what facts you present to these fools they will keep chanting Algore's mantra. Funny how Algore and his ilk keep screaming that the debate over global warmin g is over yet they NEVER were or are willing to debate the other side because they would be eviscerated. Typical intellectual cowardice of the lefties.

"Yup, the temperatures in Portland, Maine should be considered representative of average global temperatures over the past several decades.  Give me a break".

Then to follow your logic. What we do here in Portland, Biddeford, Rumford and any other Maine town should not be considered representative of adding to the average global temperatures over the past several decades.

I hope voters remeber that Michaud and Pingree both voted for the moonbat cap and trade energy bill, last week, The bill will wind up costing the avergae home $3,000 in extra energy costs a year and do virtually nothing to impact the climate. Vote these idiots out in 2010.
