Horrendous problems for the nation continue to mount, in places such as Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, as well as here at home regarding our border’s, Ebola, the Secret Service, the IRS, the Defense Department, rising health care costs, a shrinking job market, growing welfare rolls and the deficit to name a few.

 

Yet, last month at the at the UN Climate Change Summit, according to Levi Winchester of the U.K.’s Sunday Express, US President Barack Obama said global warming was an issue "that will define the contours of this century more dramatically than any other."

 

However, it seems that facts and actual data are suggesting something else completely.

 

Mr. Winchester writes that, “This week saw the 18th anniversary since the Earth's temperature last rose - something that Dr. Benny Peiser, from the Global Warming Policy Forum, says experts are struggling to understand.

 

Scientists from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) once predicted a temperature rise of 0.2 degrees per decade - but are now baffled by the fact our planet's temperature has not increased for almost two decades.

 

Speaking exclusively to Express.co.uk, Dr. Peiser said: "What has happened is that the public has become more sceptical because they were told we are facing Doomsday, and suddenly they realise ‘Where is the warming that we were promised?’"

 

"They say we can predict the climate and the reality is that they can’t."

 

Because of this so-called "global warming hiatus," Dr. Peiser says climate change is not as pressing of an issue as it once was, a fact that should be embraced by the scientific community.

 

"Climate change used to be a top priority but it has dropped quite significantly - other issues are more important for international meetings," he said.

 

On the same topic, in the incumbent’s home town, nbcchicago.com reports as follows: “Looks like Mother Nature isn’t going to let Chicago forget that winter is coming.

 

The city saw light snow Saturday morning, marking one of the earliest snow sightings on record. The earliest snow spotting in Chicago is Sept. 25, which occurred in 1928 and again in 1944, according to the National Weather Service.

 

The city set a temperature record with O'Hare Airport recording a high of 47 degrees, marking the lowest maximum high temperature in 79 years, the NWS reported. The previous record, set on October 4, 1935, was 48 degrees.

 

The average high temperature in Chicago for the month of October is 62 degrees. The average low temperature is about 43 degrees.

 

So, once again, it appears that Mother Nature’s listening very carefully when mere earthlings take it upon themselves to usurp her powers by claiming they‘re certain about what she’s going to do in the future. She also seems to take umbrage with their smug audacity and doesn't abide by their incontrovertible attitudes. 

 

Which is likely why she chose the leader's home town to set an example of exactly how wrong one can be when claiming to know what an always unpredictable force of nature’s going to do anytime, anywhere or in any way.

 

That’s it for today folks.
