Grape Damage From Frost Widespread in U.S.

By CAROLYN THOMPSON
Associated Press Writer

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) -- A late-April frost devastated young buds on grape vines in several western New York counties and beyond, challenging growers who had been hoping to rebound from a small crop last year.

"It was 24 degrees. That's just too cold," said grower Dennis Rak.

The National Grape Cooperative, which owns Welch's, estimated its New York state growers lost 30-33 percent of their grapes.

I should not make light of pollution and smog. It is a serious problem. I ain't getting rid of my gazz guzzling, smog producing 4x4 though. I can't haul my airplanes in a Toyota Prius.

0.6 deg increase worldwide... local decreases here and there... Put these two together and you get:

BIG increases in places you're not looking.

But increase from what? With the earth cycling through warm and cool periods, what is the relative point everything is measured from? How do we know what it is supposed to be set at, so to speak?

It's possible to simulate the natural effects that cause climate change, and work out what the "proper" temperature is. Those simulations follow the actual, measured global temperature fairly well up to a few decades ago.

But since then, the real temperature hat taken a marked upwards turn that the simulations cannot reproduce - unless human activity is added to the simulations. Then they match the measured data right to to today.

There's an idea. I should suggest that my company start offering a temperature hat in the catalogue... :)

Just because the temperature in your yard is cooler than norm doesn't mean that the earth isn't warming and the climate changing...

P.S. ...don't break anything important like a guitar or Rush CD :razz:
