For some reason, Andy avoids talking about the beginning of the 1881 NYT article.

I don’t think that Marc Morano has linked to this story, so I am not sure why Andy made reference to him. Anyway, here is the end of the New York Times story. [update – Marc tells me that he E-mailed the story to Andy.]

[addendum] This 1881 article is satirizing one of the more alarmist explanations for the widespread belief of “thoughtful persons” at that time : “The growing heat of our Summers, the drying up of streams, and the increased frequency of hurricanes, yellow fever, and earthquakes have latterly attracted the attention of thoughtful persons.”

Sound familiar? The exact same beliefs being espoused by the alarmist community now.

NOAA has a different opinion.

I believe the odds for a two-year event remain well above 50%, made even more likely by the continued unabated strength in various ENSO indices.

And now :

“After careful consideration, the president of the United States has made the determination that Section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act as applied to same-sex couples who are legally married under state law, violates the equal-protection component” of the U.S. Constitution, announced Atty. Gen. Eric Holder.
