| Beijing In The Spring (Or Enhanced Greenhouse Effected Winter) |
As you may have read from earlier posts, several weeks ago, we celebrated the Chinese New Year - also known as the Spring Festival. This is usually the time when real spring weather emerges. But here, I have seen no such thing - not even a hint. I know temperatures all over the world have gone beyond "unusual," but this season in Beijing is not just strange, it's frustrating as hell. With major daily fluctuations and no visible end in sight to the alternating snow and slush, one must wonder how much more Mother Nature is going to dish out before she reins it all in and allows spring sunshine to emerge.
The first thing that came to mind was "global warming," which I was soon to learn was not exactly the right term. In an attempt to research the topic further, I came across this article. JunkScience is a fantastic and reputable site and, after reading the way they present the facts, I wanted to pass it along to all of you:
