;void(0)) . . . WEATHER see: "NATURE" for related links What dreadful hot weather we have! It keeps me in a continual state of inelegance. --Jane Austen (17751817) English writer. Letter [18 September 1796]. - It was a dark and stormy night; the rain fell in torrents except at occasional intervals, when it was checked by a violent gust of wind which swept up the streets (for it is in London that our scene lies), rattling along the housetops, and fiercely agitating the scanty flame of the lamps that struggled against the darkness. --Edward Bulwer-Lytton (18031873) British novelist and politician. Opening lines of _Paul Clifford_ [1830]. & see: It was a wild and stormy night on the West Coast of Scotland. This, however, is immaterial to the present story, as the scene is not laid in the West of Scotland. For the matter of that the weather was just as bad on the East coast of Ireland. --Stephen Butler Leacock (18691944) Canadian humorist. Opening lines of "Gertrude the Governess; Or Simple Seventeen". - The threat of a new ice age must now stand alongside nuclear war as a likely source of wholesale death and misery for mankind. --Nigel Calder (1931 ) British science writer and environmentalist. Speech, Earth Day [1969]. & see: This cooling has already killed hundreds of thousands of people. If it continues and no strong action is taken, it will cause world famine, world chaos and world war, and this could all come about before the year 2000. --Lowell Ponte Libertarian radio talk show host. _The Cooling_ [1976] & see: If present trends continue, the world will be about four degrees colder for the global mean temperature in 1990, but eleven degrees colder by the year 2000...This is about twice what it would take to put us in an ice age. --Kenneth E.F. Watt (b. 1929) On air pollution and global cooling, Earth Day [1970]. & note: There is something fascinating about science. One gets such wholesale returns of conjecture out of such a trifling investment of fact. --Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (18351910) American humorist, novelist, journalist, and river pilot. _Life on the Mississippi_ [1883], ch. XVII "Cut-Offs and Stephen" - The hard soil and four months of snow make the inhabitiant of the northern temperate zones wiser and abler than the fellow who enjoys the fixed smile of the tropics. --Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882) American philosopher and poet. "Prudence" _Essays_, First Series [1841] It ain't a fit night out for man or beast. --W. C. Fields [William Claude Dukenfield] (18801946) American vaudeville star and film actor. Adopted by Fields but claimed by him not to be original, letter [8 February 1944]. A woman rang to say she heard there was a hurricane on the way. Well don't worry, there isn't. (Weather forecast on the night before serious gales in southern England.) --Michael Fish (1944 ) British weather forecaster. In my best social accent I addressed him. I said, 'It is most extraordinary weather for this time of year!' He replied, 'Ah, it isn't this time of year at all." --Oliver St John Gogarty (18781957) Irish physician and writer of humerous verse. _It Isn't This Time of Year at All_ [1954] Tall tales come out of Oklahoma, just as out of Texas, one favorite describes the 'crowbar hole.' This is a hole through the wall that many houses have, designed to check the weather. You shove a crowbar through the hole; if it bends, the wind velocity outside is normal; if the bar breaks off, 'it is better to stay in the house.' --John Gunther (19011970) American author. _Inside USA_ [1947] ^ Nathaniel Hawthorne (18041964) American novelist. In March 1864, an ill Hawthorne was traveling with his old friend and publisher James Ticknor. Driving through Philadelphia, the bad weather turned even colder and rainier. Ticknor took off his coat and put it around Hawthorne's shoulders to protect him. It helped Hawthorne but Ticknor caught a severe case of pneumonia and died a few days later. --_Bartlett's Book of Anecdotes_ edited by Clifton Fadiman and Andrι Bernard [2000 ed.] ^ I prefer much the climate of the United States to that of Europe. I think it a more cheerful one. It is our cloudless sky which has eradicated from our constitutions all disposition to hang ourselves, which we might have otherwise inherited from our English ancestors. --Thomas Jefferson (17431826) American statesman and president [18011809]. In a letter to C.F.C. de Volney [8 February 1805]. When two Englishmen meet, their first talk is of the weather. --Samuel Johnson (17091784) English poet, critic, and lexicographer. In "The Idler" [24 June 1758]. - It was cold out there, bitter, biting, cutting, piercing, hyperborean, marmoreal cold, and there were all these Minnesotans running around outdoors, happy as lambs in the spring. --Charles Kuralt (19341997) American journalist and broadcaster. _Dateline America_ [1979] That's the way life goes, of course. A breeze comes up in Rhode Island on a morning in March during the Civil War, and a Union soldier home on leave goes into a park in Providence to fly a kite, and a young woman sees the kite in the sky from her front stoop a block away and wanders into the park, where she meets the soldier and likes him, and they write letters to each other after he goes back to his outfit, and they are married after the war, and they have a son, who grows up and has a son, who grows up and has a son, who is named Charles after the soldier. And here I am. But I wouldn't be, if a Rhode Island day in 1864 had turned out calm, rather than breezy. I owe everthing to the wind and to Providence. --Charles Kuralt (19341997) American journalist and broadcaster. _Charles Kuralt's America_ [1995] "April: A Change of Plans" - It's true! It's true! The crown has made it clear: The climate must be perfect all the year. A law was made a distant moon ago here, July and August cannot be too hot; And there's a legal limit to the snow here In Camelot. The winter is forbidden till December, And exits March the second on the dot. By order Summer lingers through September In Camelot. Camelot! Camelot! I know it sounds a bit bizarre; But in Camelot, Camelot That's how conditions are. The rain may never fall till after sundown, By eight the morning fog must disappear. In short, there's simply not A more congenial spot For happ'ly-ever-aftering than here In Camelot. Camelot! Camelot! I know it gives a person pause, But in Camelot, Camelot Those are the legal laws. The snow may never slush upon the hillside. By nine P.M. the moonlight must appear. In short, there's simply not A more congenial spot For happ'ly-ever-aftering than here In Camelot. Each evening from December to December Before you drift to sleep upon your cot, Think back on all the tales that you remember Of Camelot. Ask ev'ry person if he's heard the story, And tell it strong and clear if he has not: That once there was a fleeting wisp of glory Called Camelot. Camelot! Camelot! Now say it out with love and joy! Camelot! Camelot! Yes, Camelot, my boy ... Where once it never rained till after sundown; By eight A.M. the morning fog had flown ... Don't let it be forgot That once there was a spot For one brief shining moment that was known As Camelot. --Alan Jay Lerner (19181986) American playwright and lyricist. ""Camelot"" 1960 song from the stage production of the same name. (Music by Frederic Loewe (19011988) Austrian-American composer.) - Antiphanes said merrily that in a certain city the cold was so intense that words were congealed as soon as spoken, but that after some time they thawed and became audible; so that the words spoken in winter were articulated next summer. --Plutarch (A.D. 46?119?) Greek philosopher and biographer. - "Did you *see* the weather report for this world?" said Rincewind, waving his hands in the air. "Two miles of ice, followed by a light shower of rocks, with outbreaks of choking fog for the next thousand years? There will be widespread vulcanism as half a continent's worth of magma lets go, followed by a period of mountain building? And that's *normal.*" [...] "Oh, *yes*, there are some nice quiet periods, everything settles down, and then whammo!" [...] "This is how this place *works*! And now, please, you tell me how, I mean *how*, can anything living on this world *possibly* mess it up? I mean, compared to what happens anyway?" --Terry Pratchett (1948 ) English science fiction writer. _The Science of Discworld_ [1999], with Ian Stewart & Jack Cohen. - It rained hard enough to fill a wire basket. --attributed to Mike Royko (19321997) American journalist. The fog comes on little cat feet, It sits looking over harbor and city on silent haunches and then moves on. --Carl Sandburg (18781967) American poet. "Fog" [1916] - There is a sumptuous variety about the New England weather that compels the stranger's admiration and regret. The weather is always doing something there; always adhering strictly to business; aways getting up new designs and trying them on people to see how they will go. But it gets through more business in spring that in any other season. In the spring I have counted one hundred and thirty-six different kinds of weather inside of twenty-four hours. --Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (18351910) American humorist, novelist, journalist, and river pilot. Speech to the New England Society, held at Delmonico's, NYC [22 December 1876]. The people of New England are by nature patient and forebearing but there are some things which they will not stand. Every year they kill a lot of poets for writing about 'Beautiful Spring.' These are generally casual visitors who bring their notions of spring from somewhere else. --Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (18351910) American humorist, novelist, journalist, and river pilot. Speech to the New England Society, held at Delmonico's, NYC [22 December 1876]. In India, "cold weather" is merely a conventional phrase and has come into use through the necessity of having some way to distinguish between weather which will melt a brass door-knob and weather which will only make it mushy. --Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (18351910) American humorist, novelist, journalist, and river pilot. _Following the Equator_, ch. LIV [1897] Cold! If the thermometer had been an inch longer we'd all have frozen to death! --Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (18351910) American author and humorist. Quoted in Opie Read _Mark Twain and I_ [1940]. Probably nor'east to sou'west winds varying to the southard and westard and eastard and points between; high and low barometer, sweeping round from place to place; probably areas of rain, snow, heat and drought, succeeded or preceded by earth quakes with thunder and lightning. --Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (18351910) American humorist, novelist, journalist, and river pilot. Twain on San Francisco's weather: During eight months of the year, straight along, the skies are bright and cloudless, and never a drop of rain falls. But when the other four months come along, you will need to go and steal an umbrella. Because you will require it. Not just one day, but one hundred and twenty days in hardly varying succession...And along in the summer, when you have suffered about four months of lustrous, pitiless sunshine, you are ready to go down on your knees and plead for rain hail snow thunder and lightning anything to break the monotony you will take an earthquake, if you cannot do any better. And the chances are that you'll get it, too. --Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (18351910) American humorist, novelist, journalist, and river pilot. _Roughing It_, Vol. II, Chapter XV, "Glorious Climate Of California" [1871] Thunder is good, thunder is impressive; but it is lightning which does the work. --Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (18351910) American humorist, novelist, journalist, and river pilot. In a 1908 letter. - - Everybody talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it. --Charles Dudley Warner (18291900) American newspaperman, author, editor, and publisher. In an editorial in the "Hartford Courant" [24 August 1897]. & note: 1897 - Newspaper editor Charles Dudley Warner published his often-quoted sentence, "Everybody talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it." The quotation is often mistakenly attributed to his friend Mark Twain. Warner was the editor of the "Hartford Courant," where the quotation was published. --anon. - I'd better shut the window, It feels like minus fifty And my davenport is looking drifty There's a polar bear In my rocking chair!

"Observer" (London) [7 October 1951] [Direct welfare] is a bad program, not because it gives money to the poor, but because it produces poor people, because it encourages people to be on welfare instead of being on wages. I dont blame them. If you and I are fools enough to make it to their advantage to subsist on welfare rather than work, they would foolish not to take advantage of it. Nonetheless, I have a great deal more sympathy for that program than for almost any other, because it is about the only one that really contributes to people in lower income classes rather than to the people who pay the taxes. --Milton Friedman (19122006) American laissez-faire economist; winner of the 1976 Nobel Prize for Economics.

It's reassuring to think them separate, and the fixation on the euro - Europe's common currency - buttresses that mind-set. But Europe's turmoil is more than a currency crisis and was inevitable, in some form, even if the euro had never been created. It's ultimately a crisis of the welfare state, which has grown too large to be easily supported economically. People can't live with it - and can't live without it. The American predicament is little different. Government expansion was one of the 20th century's great transformations. Wealthy nations adopted programs for education, health care, unemployment insurance, old-age assistance, public housing and income redistribution. "Public spending for these activities had been almost nonexistent at the beginning of the 20th century," writes economist Vito Tanzi in his book "Government versus Markets." The numbers - to those who don't know them - are astonishing. In 1870, all government spending was 7.3 percent of national income in the United States, 9.4 percent in Britain, 10 percent in Germany and 12.6 percent in France. By 2007, the figures were 36.6 percent for the United States, 44.6 percent for Britain, 43.9 percent for Germany and 52.6 percent for France. Military costs once dominated budgets; now, social spending does. "Survival of the fittest" no longer sufficed. Europeans have never liked markets as much as Americans do. In the 1880s, German Chancellor Bismarck created health, old-age and accident insurance - landmarks regarded as originating the welfare state. The Great Depression discredited capitalism, and after World War II, communists and socialists enjoyed strong support in part because they "had formed the backbone of wartime resistance movements," writes Barry Eichengreen in "The European Economy Since 1945." To flourish, the welfare state requires favorable economics and demographics: rapid economic growth to pay for social benefits and young populations to support the old. Both economics and demographics have moved adversely. The great expansion of Europe's welfare states started in the 1950s and 1960s, when annual economic growth for its rich nations averaged 4.5 percent compared with a historical rate since 1820 of 2.1 percent, notes Eichengreen. This sort of growth, it was assumed, would continue indefinitely. Not so. From 1973 to 2000, growth settled back to 2.1 percent. More recently, it's been lower. Demographics shifted, too. In 2000, Italy's 65-and-over population was already 18 percent of the total; in 2010, it was 21 percent, and the projection for 2050 is 34 percent. Figures for the European Union's 27 countries are 16 percent, 18 percent and 29 percent. Until the financial crisis, the welfare state existed in a shaky equilibrium with sluggish economic growth. The crisis destroyed that equilibrium. Economic growth slowed. Debt - already high - rose. Government bonds once considered ultra-safe became risky. Switch to the United States. Broadly speaking, the story is similar. The great expansion of America's welfare state (though we avoid that term) occurred in the 1960s and 1970s with the creation of Medicare, Medicaid and food stamps. In 1960, 26 percent of federal spending represented payments for individuals; in 2010, the figure was 66 percent. Economic growth in the 1950s and 1960s averaged about 4 percent; from 2000 to 2007, the average was 2.4 percent. Our elderly population was 13 percent in 2010; the 2050 estimate is 20 percent. What separates the United States and Europe is that (so far) we haven't suffered a backlash from bond markets. Despite high and rising U.S. government debt, Treasury securities still fetch low interest rates, about 2 percent on 10-year bonds. Will that last? It's true that cutting spending too quickly might threaten a fragile economic recovery. But President Obama and Congress can't be accused of making this mistake. They do little and excel at blaming each other. The modern welfare state has reached a historic reckoning. As a political institution, it hasn't adapted to change. Politics and economics are at loggerheads. Vast populations in Europe and America expect promised benefits and, understandably, resent any hint that they will be cut. Elected politicians respond accordingly. But the resulting inertia poses an economic threat, one already realized in Europe. As deficits or taxes rise, the risk is that economic instability will increase, growth will decline, or both. Paying promised benefits becomes harder. Or austerity becomes unavoidable. The paradox is that the welfare state, designed to improve security and dampen social conflict, now looms as an engine for insecurity, conflict and disappointment. Facing the hard questions of finding a sustainable balance between individual protections and better economic growth, the Europeans have spent years dawdling. The parallel with our situation is all too obvious. --Robert J.
