follow my ruin
There is a school of thought - I think you can use that term rather loosely - that says that if - IF - there really IS such a thing as climate change, that mainland United States is well-situated to outlast any long-term effects, and that Der Homeland may just come out on top in relation to the rest of the world.
Extremes were everywhere. Above-normal heat covered twice as much land as usual. Excessive rain and/or snow blanketed three times as much land as normal. Average daily low temperatures were warmer than normal across four times as much U.S. territory as in average years.
It was the third worst year for U.S. extreme-weather events in history, according to the National Climatic Data Center. For 2005's first 11 months, the nation had an extreme-climate index figure of 35, behind only 1998's 42 and 1934's 37. The average annual score is 20.
My guess is you can get your certificate in VCR repair and juggling at this particular school of thought, too.
