...and after reading the summary report from the IPCC, Punxsutawney Phil didn't see his shadow:

A new pair of hands pulled Punxsutawney Phil from his stump this year, so it was only fitting that the groundhog offered a new prediction.

Phil did not see his shadow on Friday, which, according to German folklore, means folks can expect an early spring instead of six more weeks of winter.

Rumor has it that members of Green Peace and the Sierra Club were threatening to feed him poison pellets after a quick tribunal if he joined other climate change deniers and saw his shadow.

Happy Groundhog Day.
