Punxsutawney Phil, Meet Global Warming

According to the official site, Punxsutawney Phil is the 120-year-old groundhog who pokes out of his burrow every February 2 to tell us whether we're in for six more weeks of winter or not. The town of Punxsutawney, PA, has become the de facto weather capital of the U.S. But I'll bet the folks in old Punx are wondering if Phil can keep on the job in light of global warming.
Maybe a globally warmed climate needs a higher tech version of weather forecasting. A few companies are making products almost as zany as Phil himself.
Like Phil, Ambient Devices has made a name out of weather prediction. My favorite is the weather forecasting umbrella ($125). If there's rain in the forecast the handle of the umbrella glows. The data comes directly from AccuWeather. (Of course, if there was rain in the forecast you'd have your umbrella with you, glow or no glow right? And if it were left at home who cares if it's glowing?)
Second favorite is the Ambient Devices Weather Beacon ($100), a frosted-glass cube that glows different colors in response to changes in weather. (It also can display stock market trends, traffic conditions, or any other information on the Ambient channel, which has a monthly above the cost of the beacon.)
In the "this is just what I want to see when I make my coffee" category there's the Melitta Smart Mill and Brew, a coffeemaker with live weather brought to you by MSN Direct built into the coffeemaker's display. Over the holidays another weather-obsessed favorite was Nabaztag, a Wi-Fi enabled rabbit that looks like a thumb puppet and reports all sorts of things including the weather.
If these devices seem a bit too new age for you then regroup with Phil in Punxsutawney for live coverage of the event. Commemorative postcards are also available.

"The question scientists should now be asking is not how much it will warm over the next 50 to 100 years, but why has it warmed so little during the major carbon dioxide buildup?" Patrick J. Michaels, Environmental Scientist , University of Virginia

Global warming update:_ SHANGHAI - Chinese premier Wen Jiabao took a bullhorn in hand to encourage stranded passengers in the snow-bound city of Changsha, as unusually severe winter weather snarled transport throughout the south amidst the country's worst power crisis.___________ Millions of migrant workers in the booming southern province of Guangdong were urged to abandon plans to go home to celebrate next week's Lunar New Year holiday, or Spring Festival, because train tracks were blocked by snow.________Icy temperatures, snow and sleet blanketing much of central, eastern and southern China have crippled thousands of trucks and trains loaded with coal, food and passengers in the most severe winter weather seen in 50 YEARS!
