If The Old Farmer's is saying it, it must be true:
The Old Farmer's Almanac is going further out on a limb than usual this year, not only forecasting a cooler winter, but looking ahead decades to suggest we are in for global cooling, not warming.
Based on the same time-honored, complex calculations it uses to predict weather, the Almanac hits the newsstands on Tuesday saying a study of solar activity and corresponding records on ocean temperatures and climate point to a cooler, not warmer, climate, for perhaps the next half century.
Not that I put my faith in The Old Farmer's, but for the sake of rhetoric: If cooling is the future, wouldn't man-made global warming be a solution? Just asking.
