Lack of Enough Global Warming Causes Job Loss in Connecticut

Yesterday's New Haven Register made the claim that CT's jobless rate rose because the weather wasn't warm enough (registration required).

"Poor weather in May not only depressed beach-goers in Connecticut but also the employment figures for the month," said state Labor Economist John Tirinzonie in a statement. "With cloudy, cool conditions and record percipitation during May, the construction and leisure and hospitality industry sectors in May showed significant losses in jobs when seasonally adjusted."

If there was more global warming there would be more people at work today in Connecticut! Help the folks in Connecticut by taking your SUV out for a long drive today!
