I live in California, and along the Pacific Coast, there is history of droughts and rainy periods that lasted DECADES ... so here in my lifetime we have already had a seven-year drought, and a six-year drought, and those were broken by years of rain of incredible violence. South of me, closer to Ecuador, these oscillations have historically lasted as much as 30 years at some points in history. What this essentially means is that the earth has not warmed enough to break this centuries-old pattern. The Pacific is REALLY BIG, so if there is a part of it that has deacdes-long patterns, trust that it will be the LAST to change of all the waters on earth!

yes, the climate is complicated. the predictions are that we will soon die out because of climate change. apparently the climate prophets are still very much in the dark...
Very much. What is that line from Strauss's "Der Einsame" -- "Wo ich bin, mich rings umdunkelt Finsterniss, so dumpf und dicht"? That's what they ought to be singing, right now, except no one wants to hear them when one can still hear Hans Hotter or Kurt Möll ... so maybe what they need to do is sit down and shut up before they embarrass themselves even more.
