Funny, this is what the UCS was saying in 2006: The Union of Concerned Scientists’ (UCS) Climate Choices web site (published in 2006) says: “here in the Northeast, the climate is changing. Records show that spring is arriving earlier, summers are growing hotter, and winters are becoming warmer and less snowy. These changes are consistent with global warming, an urgent phenomenon driven by heat-trapping emissions from human activities. I guess they forgot they published that in 2006, or maybe they can't make up their mind, or more probable, they have no idea what their talking about.
