DUBLIN, N.H. -- If the Old Farmer's Almanac is on target, we're in for global cooling, not global warming.
The latest edition of the Almanac said a study of solar activity and
corresponding records on ocean temperatures and climate point to a
cooler, not warmer, climate, for perhaps the next 50 years.
For the near future, the Almanac predicts most of the country will be
colder than normal in the coming winter, with heavy snow from the
Ozarks into southern New England. Snow also is forecast for northern
Texas, with a warmer than usual winter in the northern Plains.
Last year, the Almanac correctly predicted "above-normal" snowfall in
the Northeast and below-normal snowfall in the mid-Atlantic states.
The Almanac also predicted an active hurricane season in 2009, especially in Florida.
