So THAT'S where all the warmth went? Because it was colder than Hillary's stare here this summer.

The cause of the warmth? Deke Arndt, chief of the climate monitoring branch at the climate center, says it's due to a combination of man-made global warming and El Nino, a natural periodic warming of the tropical Pacific Ocean that affects weather around the world. "Each of those is a component in this summer's temperatures, he said. "If El Nino continues to mature as projected by NOAA, global temperatures are likely to continue to threaten previous record highs," noted the center's report. oh wait, a cyclical weather event is causing climate readings to act cyclical? This is what el nino does!!!! And if you were in california you would be very thankful for the coming el nino cycle. I wonder how many of the high temperature years were el nino years? Another thing you might want to research is the role of hurricanes as well as how they are formed. I think that you will find that hurricanes are associated with warm surface ocean temperatures. Hurricanes are the earth's mechanism for distributing heat. You also might want to see how many hurricanes there have been this year and compare that to other years. I think you will find that there have been comparatively few hurricanes this year. Hurricane seasons starts on June 1 and ends on November 30th. There were no named storms, let alone hurricanes in both June and July. There have been two hurricanes so far. Hurricane Bill got up to a Cat 4 hurricane while out over the warm waters and then.....fizzled down to a Cat 1 when it hit land in Newfoundland. Hurricane Fred briefly hit Cat 3 status and then quickly fizzled. And why do you suppose that is? could it be that the Atlantic ocean is cooler this year? (Hint: YES!!!) So while we are having an el nino year on the pacific which brings warmer water to different areas, it is offset by cooler temperatures elsewhere. What a magnificent machine this planet is. It's able to keep a balance no matter what the cosmos throw at it.
