Some good news on the AGW front. And then there's that bad news.

[decimon]

El crap ping.

[Seruzawa]

I get it. If one thing happens after another then the first must have caused the second! This means that my Dad’s getting discharged from the National Guard on Dec 6, 1941 caused the Pearl Harbor attack.

I could be a professor! Get me grant money now!

I give this guy credit for trying to look a little deeper into causation, rather than just saying GLOBAL WARMING or BUSH’s FAULT

[Dahoser]

Shades of Tim McCarver and Ralph Kiner’s long running joke during Met telecasts about El Niño being the cause of everything that goes wrong.

[Snickering Hound]

Aggie scientists at work!

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

I think the horrid conditions of World War I had more to do with the spread of the Spanish Flu than El Nino.

1918 flu caused cytokine storms. If this one doesn't, it will be similar to regular flu.

However, regular flu does kill 34,000 a year and causes 200,000 to be hospitalized.

Four years of war, all those people milling around as they’d never milled around in history before; not eating or sleeping too well either. But it’s the wind. In flew Enza! Riiight...

I didn’t know about the drought in India, but over a million Germans died of malnutrition due to the British Blockade, and 1917 was called the “hunger year” in the UK for the same reason.

And, of course, the climate changes (cooler) in the early 1330-1330 was one reason that the black death killed so many.
