Apparently, a poll shows that more than 50% of Americans have faith in the rodent. Punxsutawney Phil's lifetime accuracy is less than 40%.
Remember, it's a rodent not a meteorologist or climatologist....Honestly, it is all in fun and folklore, but there is a sizeable part of the public that thinks the Groundhog and Almanac are credible while dismissive of actual scientists.

Turning to the rich to fund science is not a new phenomenon, often expressed as little different than Carnegie wanting a big dinosaur for his museum a century ago. But the apparent belief that museums have to play nice with conservative freaks to get money? That is more recent.

Could river restorations be key to easing floods?
Climate change is bringing warmer, wetter winters, which means more frequent flooding.

This now means that all five wind farms paused by the Trump administration on Dec 22 have received preliminary injunctions.
