Old Farmer's Almanac predicts global cooling for next half century

That sound you hear is Al Gore slamming his phone against the wall after canceling his subscription to the Old Farmer's Almanac.

A report at the link below says:

For the near future, the Almanac predicts most of the country will be colder than normal in the coming winter, with heavy snow from the Ozarks into southern New England. Snow also is forecast for northern Texas, with a warmer than usual winter in the northern Plains.

The Old Farmer's Almanac is going further out on a limb than usual this year, not only forecasting a cooler winter, but looking ahead decades to suggest we are in for global cooling, not warming.

Based on the same time-honored, complex calculations it uses to predict weather, the Almanac hits the newsstands on Tuesday saying a study of solar activity and corresponding records on ocean temperatures and climate point to a cooler, not warmer, climate, for perhaps the next half century.

The Old Farmer's Almanac was Established in 1792 and is North America's oldest continuously published periodical.

It still comes with that little hole in the corner so it can hang in outhouses.

The Old Farmer's Almanac is not to be confused with the Maine-based Farmer's Almanac, published "only" since 1818.

The 217th edition also predicts social trends such as sofas that measure body temperature, shopping carts that sound an alarm when filled with too much junk food and closet shelves and hangers that talk to give advice on matching shirts and ties.

Color blind people should find the talking closet shelves helpful.
