A Dow Jones Newswires survey of 13 analysts and traders showed expectations for a withdrawal of 27 billion cubic feet of gas compared with the five-year average of a 3 billion cubic feet storage injection.

You're clinging to the one study that conveniently supports what you want to believe. Unfortunately, the other 12 studies conducted disagree with your one outlier.

The Global Warming computer models for many years have been telling us about a hot spot in the troposphere near the equator. But all the actual measurements never seem to find that hot spot.

What happened to ‘Global Warming’?" Lord deliver us from idiots like this. The earth’s climate is changing over decades, not weeks or months. We will still have cold weather in winter and hot weather in summer and not every year will be warmer than the year before. Anyone who is not trapped in the Fox Noise bubble can examine the record and see that the climate has changed substantially over the past century.
