...World Series, I still have enough reverence for the game to know that it at least deserves a slap on the back. I also reflected: Perhaps this is the end of an era for Boston, an end to the persecution complex, to the insufferable masochism, to the bitter winter despair that never abates come April...
Danish statistician Bjorn Lomborg's claim that global warming will only cause us to wear "slightly fewer layers of winter clothes" is not credible [Oct. 15]. My new book, Global Warming and Agriculture, uses averages from six climate models and two schools of agricultural-impact models to estimate that in the absence of action, by the 2080s global warming will reduce agricultural productivity 30% to 40% in India, 15% to 25% in Africa and Latin America and 20% to 35% in the southern U.S. and Mexico. And if we consider the longer-term catastrophic risks from the runaway greenhouse effect...
...Jack’s eyes glow red, but I’ve gotten past looking for monsters under my bed—and I gave up that blanket. “The Nightmare Before Christmas” is a multi-holiday movie, perfect for most of the fall and winter seasons.

...situation was worsened by a relatively wet winter in 2004-05, which let trees and scrub grow densely, followed by extremely dry weather since, which turned the vegetation to still more fuel. In fact, this past year has seen the worst drought in Los Angeles' recorded history. Adding to the tinder were those Santa Ana winds, which strike regularly in the autumn but rarely with the power of the past week. "They usually come in small, medium and large," says Bill Patzert, a climatologist with NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif. "These were Godzilla winds...
...frightening possibility is that the October wildfires may be only the start - not just of future fires in future seasons but of more to come this year. The Santa Ana winds have just begun and typically peak in the winter. What's more, there is not likely to be much relief from drought conditions. The National Weather Service predicts a La Niña pattern this winter, which occurs when sea-surface temperatures in the equatorial Pacific Ocean are cooler than usual. La Niña usually translates to dryer and hotter weather in the American South...
