Spring is here.... again.

Strange weather for the Upper Peninsula, a very warm March, followed by a dry (so far) April.
Except for one normal snow storm we have had a lot of sunny warm days. It would be easy to blame it on Global Warming. (Or climate change if you prefer the less drastic sounding term.)
We at the crazy have done research, and more research on global warming. We have read all the articles we could find both for and against it. We have researched temperature change in the ocean. Migration pattern changes in birds. (Yes, a lot of species of birds are moving farther north earlier than ever before.) Compared winter glacier photos all over the world. And all of these things seem to point to global warming. But the thing that really tips the scales for us is the effect the weather change has had on commerce and travel. The ice road truckers of the north have had shorter and shorter seasons every year. Almost every ski resort in the country has complained that they just haven't had enough snow to open for a normal season every year. (The sale of snow makers has quadrupled in the last ten years.) So we here at the crazy believe global warming is happening, and we think it will have a negative effect on a lot of people. (although with human ingenuity being what it is there will be some people who figure out a way to profit from it.) Ok and now for the point. We don't yet believe their is enough evidence to support the idea that global warming is caused by man. (Don't get us wrong, we would love to see the reliance on fossil fuels stop. And the use of wind, water, solar, and any other renewable or recyclable energy sources be brought to the forefront.) Ok people don't grind your girdles, we don't say it's not possible man is a major contributor to global warming. Just in our opinion there is not enough evidence to support the theory yet. We will continue our research. And just want to point out that just because we aren't sure of our species effect on global climate, doesn't mean that man isn't having an effect. After all we could be wrong. Couldn't we. Ciao for now.
