I can't believe I missed this one, but my son was writing a paper tonight on the fallacies of the "hockey stick" graph and dug up an article from this past January on Baghdad's first snow fall ever recorded. Other sources say it has probably been about 100 years since Baghdad has seen snow, but no one is really certain. Considering how rare snow is in this part of the world, you would think someone somewhere along the 4,000 years civilization has been present in that part of the world would have made a note of it when it actually happened. In any case, I guess "global warming" doesn't apply to Iraq.
