In the New York Times article, the farmer said that wet summers were forecast by computer models, but the State of Minnesota reports the opposite.

It appears they forgot the line going down on that last graph!
They covered themselves by predicting droughts and excess rain.
Here in my part of Minnesota we’ve experienced subzero cold and over a foot of
snow before Thanksgiving, the earliest onset of winter I’ve seen in almost 20 years.
We’ve only got 85 years to go until 2095. This warming better start kicking in pretty quick.
Ahh, that beautiful hockey stick. I’d bet most farmers in Minn. would appreciate the lengths of growing seasons here in Kansas as opposed to Minn. I like that “perhaps drier” verbiage. Is that like saying it could be wetter, too? Well, what to you expect from a state that gave us Al Franken? It wasn’t enough the state held itself up to ridicule by electing a pro-wrestler to be governor, no they had to inflict their inanity on everyone else by putting an un-funny comedian in the senate. Would Canada, please, take this state and incorporate it into one of their providences? Maybe it would be a south territory.
Wow, I don’t think I’ve ever seen that graph before. Just for fun you should add in the actual temps since ’98. I’d like to see how it compares with the lowest of those curves.
Oh, my bad – it’s anomolies, add in the anomolies from ’98 from HadCrut or UAH or something.
