"Watch out, it’s everywhere; Many afflicted by potent poison ivy" by Patrick G. Lee, Globe Staff | August 13, 2010
An unusually moist spring and a hot summer have conspired to produce a particularly abundant crop of poison ivy this year, leaving more Massachusetts residents than usual scratching their skin raw.
Nature conspires, but no 9/11 conspiracy to be found in the papers unless it is the ridiculous cover story of Arabs from a cave.
After a while you just get sick of the insulting "style" of AmeriKa's journalists.
Scientists believe the plant might also be gaining in potency because, especially in cities, it is thriving on increasing carbon dioxide levels, partly the result of burning fossil fuels and cutting down forests....
Like for a newspaper or baseball bat?

"NASCAR coverage was also expanded on the cable channel New England Sports Network, which is owned by New England Sports Ventures, the parent company of the Red Sox and Fenway Sports Group. The New York Times Co., which owns The Boston Globe, holds a 17 percent stake in New England Sports Ventures."
Oh, now all the self-serving, front-page sports features make sense!
And you know what happens when you keep scratching, right?
"Errant climate may be sign of breakdown, scientists say; Heat waves, fires, and floods fit their predictions" by Charles J. Hanley, Associated Press | August 13, 2010
NEW YORK — Floods, fires, melting ice, and feverish heat — from smoke-choked Moscow to water-soaked Iowa and the High Arctic, the planet seems to be having a midsummer breakdown. It is not just a portent of things to come, scientists say, but a sign of troubling climate change already under way.
The weather-related cataclysms of July and August fit patterns predicted by climate scientists, the Geneva-based World Meteorological Organization says, although those scientists always shy from tying individual disasters directly to global warming.
The specialists see an urgent need for better ways to forecast extreme events like Russia’s heat wave and wildfires and the record deluge devastating Pakistan. They will discuss such tools in meetings this month and next in Europe and America, under UN, US, and British government sponsorship.
“There is no time to waste,’’ because societies must be equipped to deal with global warming, says British government climatologist Peter Stott.
He said modelers of climate systems are eager to develop supercomputer modeling that would enable more detailed linking of cause and effect as a warming world shifts jet streams and other atmospheric currents. Those changes can wreak havoc on the weather.
The same kind that lied to us before?

The UN’s network of climate scientists, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, has long predicted that rising global temperatures would produce more frequent and intense heat waves and more intense rainfalls.
In its latest assessment, in 2007, the Nobel Prize-winning panel went beyond that.
You mean the SAME ONE that LIED about the GLACIERS?

AmeriKan MSM Complicit in ClimateGate
Yeah, THANKS, MSM!
It said these trends “have already been observed,’’ in an increase in heat waves since 1950, for example.
Still, climatologists generally refrain from blaming warming for this drought or that flood, since so many other factors also affect the day’s weather....
Yeah, like the SUN!
From what I have read (outside of newspapers) is that the SUN has a LOT MORE TO DO WITH IT than we do!
The World Meteorological Organization pointed out that this summer’s events fit the international scientists’ projections of “more frequent and more intense extreme weather events due to global warming.’’

Climate Change Mea Culpa
I really don't know what is going on with the weather, readers; however, of one thing I am sure:
I will never again believe a continuously-lying, agenda-pushing PoS AmeriKan newspaper ever again.
