A year without a summer?

AccuWeather.com - Weather News Headlines - Weather News: "According to Long Range Expert Joe Bastardi, areas from the northern Plains into the Northeast will have a 'year without a summer.'"
-----------------
The jet stream is far to the south this year. That means cooling, which in turn means fewer thunderstorms and tornadoes. Man, this global warming is tough.

End of Little Ice Age

Beginning around 1850, the climate began warming and the Little Ice Age ended. Some global warming critics believe that Earth's climate is still recovering from the Little Ice Age and that human activity is not the decisive factor in present temperature trends,[46][47] but this idea is not widely accepted. Instead, mainstream scientific opinion on climate change is that warming over the last 50 years is caused primarily by the increased proportion of CO2 in the atmosphere caused by human activity. There is less agreement over the warming from 1850 to 1950.
