Zoltan, I stand corrected. La Nina caused the Florida drought. There is little doubt that we are getting more extremes in the weather. Whether this is caused by global warming or not, it needs more study and hard data, not politics. Del

Duncan, there is a VERY small group of scientists who do not yet believe that global warming is caused by human activity. Most scientists now do, so it is quite unfair to suggest that Al Gore is one of only a few supporters of this explanation for climate change. Perhaps if you read this MSNBC article, and listen to the audio discussions of different aspects of the problem, you might learn something: msnbc.com

Zoltan, I retract my statement correcting myself on El Nino causing the drought in Florida. It is you that is wrong. La Nina did not start yet. Read your own link that you posted. ENSO/La Ni¤a Forecast The National Centers for Environmental Prediction's (NCEP) Climate Prediction Center forecasts (ENSO Advisory, June 9, 1998) indicate strengthening cold episode conditions in the tropical Pacific during the remainder of 1998. Other statistical and coupled model forecasts indicate a similar evolution. The predictions during May indicate that a cold episode will likely develop during the next six months and continue through the northern 1998-99 winter. publicaffairs.noaa.gov Del
