It is irresponsible of NBC Nightly News and Dennis Feltgen to claim absolutely that the current weather isn't related to global warming but is a common effect of an El Nino. It seems like the extended extreme warmth and lack of snow is global (in Moscow like in Detroit); here in Michigan it is certaily unprecedented. Second, why has the la Nina-el Nino cycle changed so greatly in recent decades? 1997-1998 was a monster, everyone agrees. La Nina used to be the dominant pattern in the cycle and cycles used to be milder and much shorter. Global warming could be having a serious effect on this pattern, or at least could be making its effects much worse. Finally, there is some discussion as to whether an extreme El Nino could permanently alter global weather patterns. This was the case in 1976. Stay tuned, and don't sit back and crank up the electricity because NBC said we're okay.

According to WVIT, there were cherry blossoms spotted this week in New London. The drill for the last few years has been to bring winter hiking gear on ski trips up north. If I were to go this weekend, I could forget the winter gear entirely.
