"A change in our climate however is taking place very sensibly. Both heats and cold are become much more moderate within the memory even of the middle-aged. Snows are less frequent and less deep. The do not often lie, below the mountains, more than one, two or three days, and very rarely a week. They are remembered to have been formerly frequent, deep, and of long continuance. The elderly inform me the earth used to be covered with snow about three months in every year. The rivers, which then seldom failed to freeze over in the course of the winter, scarcely ever do so now. This has produced an unfortunate fluctuation between heat and cold, in the spring of the year, which is very fatal to fruits."
A climate denier that the left embrace - he also favored a decentralized government. How can liberals embrace him?

Oh and by the way his name is Thomas Jefferson and this piece comes from the only book he published - Notes on the State of Virginia which was first published in 1787. Those evil founding fathers.
