Official NOAA Climate Prediction Center estimates peg the odds of El Niño’s return at 50 percent, but many climate scientists think that is a lowball estimate. And there are several indications that if it materializes, this year’s El Niño could be massive, a lot like the 1997-98 event that was the strongest on record.

The same "scientists" who are still clinging to manmade global warming that is turning women (especially minority women) into prostitutes and sex slaves?

If this past winter was any indication of what this summer has in store it will be a wet cold summeer.

The earth is cooling. We should raise taxes to stop el nino.

There are cult globull climate change scientists (decreasing in numbers) and real climate scientists.

I wonder what www.wattsupwiththis.com has to say about it.

Proper link for Watts Up With That?

http://wattsupwiththat.com/

And here’s an article about El Nino posted April 14; if it’s on Watts’ site, is not tainted with globull climate change idiocy:

In other news, climate-alarmists around the world reacted with remorse at the now-expected end of the California drought, lamenting the loss of all the extreme weather effects and crises resulting from said drought...California officials, in turn, shifted gears and instructed staff to reword pending emergency aid requests (Federal) to replace ‘drought/extreme weather condition’ with ‘flood/excessive precipitation/severe weather effect’...

We are overdue for an El Nino...about every 7-8 years.

Can we go back to the first 30 years of my life when we merely referred to this stuff as “weather”?

The weather has become another data point where drama queens can get their panties in a wad, where television can scream about impending doom and where government scientists can continue to request more and more funding to study it.

It reached it's most ridiculous just a couple of days ago when I saw numerous references to a pollen vortex - what the hell? Weather stories and predictions may have jumped the shark at that point.

Prediction for something happening this year, it could come back. It could be big. So say climate scientists. Prediction for years into the future. Global warming will definitely happen.
