Weather Changes Man-Made?
The Weather Isn't Getting Weirder - WSJ.com
We do know that carbon dioxide and other gases trap and re-radiate heat. We also know that humans have emitted ever-more of these gases since the Industrial Revolution. What we don't know is exactly how sensitive the climate is to increases in these gases versus other possible factors—solar variability, oceanic currents, Pacific heating and cooling cycles, planets' gravitational and magnetic oscillations, and so on. Given the unknowns, it's possible that even if we spend trillions of dollars, and forgo trillions more in future economic growth, to cut carbon emissions to pre-industrial levels, the climate will continue to change—as it always has.

Huge Winter Storm Threatens Wheat, Cattle - FoxBusiness.com
Huge Winter Storm Threatens Wheat, Cattle - FoxBusiness.com
A major winter storm sweeping across the U.S. Plains could wreak havoc on agricultural operations, threatening the dormant winter wheat crop, cattle herds and grain deliveries.
The key farm states of Oklahoma, Kansas and Missouri were being hammered Tuesday by what forecasters said could be a record-setting combination of frigid conditions and snowfall of a foot or more in some areas. "This is a big storm," said Pat Slattery, spokesman for the National Weather Service central region. The storm is set to move into the Midwest region later on Tuesday and is forecast to dump up to two feet of snow on Chicago, home of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and the Chicago Board of Trade.
