"It's Cold Out There, Woodchuck-Chuckers!"

Down here in Phoenix, the sun is shining, the sky is blue, and all is well.

I understand that those unfortunates in the more north-easterly parts are experiencing a bit of cold. Fear not! Joe Agnost is on the earth to assure you all, as you shiver in your without-power homes that this is just a spot of weather you are experiencing. The over-arching story, the Big Story, is that the globe is warming, it's got a fever, it's on fire!

And, if you think it's cold out now (that's weather), just imagine how much colder it would be, if not for the warming planet (that's climate!).

Joe offers climate lessons for $5. I've just had my first lesson.

I feel like a Mel Bay student after lesson one. I can name the six strings!

And that's the way the chillin' in Phoenix Ball bounces.
