This can only mean one thing: A warm winter in the Northeast, flooding in Latin America, nice weather in Australia, and a chilly wet winter in the south.
Seriously, though, in the Midwest, it has been one of the warmest winters I can remember with almost zero precipitation. Usually, we have pretty sloppy falls which lead into bitter winters, but we haven’t seen any of that all season.
I know the farmers want the precipitation, and I hope it comes for that reason, but man if I am not loving it!
I hear you, Doug. The Midwestern falls keep getting longer and longer. Golf courses are still open here in Des Moines. I think I am going to get out and swing the sticks one more time tomorrow. I have played 24 straight months in the state of Iowa. Simply unheard of when I was a kid. Clubs would be packed away in the basement before November. I’ll be watching the future forecasts planning my January round, hopefully.
DNC, remember when our former POTUS arrogantly said that Climate Change was our most serious National Security Threat? Well, our new great President is removing that from the conversation in favor of a balanced approach. Progressives just keep on losing and keep on screaming.

Yes very balanced:on one hand you have almost, if not 100% of all climate scientists and published work confirming and supporting it over and over for decades, while on the other hand there are company that don’t care, and near illiterates who are wrong on literally close to 100% of their statements, like you, who don’t believe it and won’t no matter what, because it’s a religion for them.

@Agent; yes, and the removal of that absurd claim is restoring sanity and credibility to the office of POTUS, one de-regulatory EO at a time.

El Nino or La Nina is mentioned Every.Single.Year. for causing this or that. I don’t really understand either but it gets old hearing about them all the time.
So you know nothing about them, but are tired of hearing about them on a site where measuring risk is important to people who do more than just sales. That seems dumb.
The effects were about every other year for a stretch and then none for 3-4 years, with the effects the last 3-4. Years. It’s possible it’s going to be much more frequent, if not permanent due to climate change, which as a serious person you know about 100% of all climate scientists and published work confirms.

Yes, that repetition gets old. But I can certify now that I’m not getting tired of winning. I’m a little bored with it all, but certainly not tired of it yet.
I am certainly tired of hearing how Miami and NY will be under water soon because of rising oceans due to Global Warming. By the way, the Arctic hasn’t melted yet, the Polar Bears are flourishing and we will be drilling in ANWR soon. The Caribou will love the human contact.
The point the article is making is that weather patterns are becoming accessibly more random, and we are seeing phenomenon weather patterns more frequently. A weather phenomenon should be something that surprises everyone and happens infrequently. The article is making a point that these phenomenon’s are arising on a regular basis meaning we don’t know when or where the next catastrophic event may occur.
This doesn’t appear to be a problem for many people until your community is the one in the middle of a hurricane, fire, earthquake, and snowstorm, and you realize no one, not even the government, is prepared for this catastrophic event because no one saw it coming.
Weather prediction is essential to saving property and lives.
Weather prediction is no better than it was 40 years ago before satellites. Back in the 30’s, there was the dust bowl in the Southwest and no one blamed man on it.
actually, the dust bowl was caused by both nature AND man. The severe drought didn’t help things, but neither did poor farming practices by farmers who didn’t know how to properly use the new mechanical plows which allowed them to plow much more land than ever before. Add that to the disastrous economic circumstances of the time and you have a “perfect storm.”
Check out the book “The Worst Hard Time” for more info about the dust bowl…It truly was a fascinating time in our history.
I didn’t say either was more responsible for the Dust Bowl, what I said was that man was a factor in it. It’s been very well-documented (except by InfoWars, which blamed it on the Left and George Soros).

here you go, Yogi–here are some links for you. Note that they blame both nature AND man for it. Tell me how left-leaning they all are!
Citation please, along with one proving your repetitive claims that The Farmer’s Almanac is more accurate than meteorologists in predicting the weather.
Hey Global Warming hoaxers. Take a look at the temperature map sometime. May be the coldest winter in years. Bet that Northern cap is getting mighty thick this year and ice skating on Lake Michigan will be popular once again.

I read your post above as ‘No one knew man was responsible at the time of the onset of The Dust Bowl.’ IOW, no one PREDICTED or IMMEDIATELY REPORTED man’s action (would) CONTRIBUTE(D) to it. That’s a big difference from what 3 others commented on, in-between your post and mine.
You read it that way because you don’t know how to read — blamed is the PAST TENSE version of blame and, by definition, can not also mean “predicted at the time” which is FUTURE TENSE.
This can only mean one thing: A warm winter in the Northeast, flooding in Latin America, nice weather in Australia, and a chilly wet winter in the south.
That is pretty funny. :)

Jack, how can we be having Global Warming with colder ocean temperatures that the hoaxers claim? By the way, La Nina is not man’s fault.
colder – compared to what other point in time exactly?
That’s right! You’re finally getting the point about analyzing a cyclical phenomena but not knowing what is the ‘starting point’ or ‘normal’ level.

What percentage of the drought was / is explained in the book / article you quoted by ‘plowing techniques’? Ready, steady, …. GO!

The Dust Bowl may have been fascinating to you, but it wasn’t for the people that had to move out.

Please read up on the event before you comment, Agent. Man absolutely played a part and no historian argues against that fact.
Enjoy your Global Warming winter Planet.

Confused,
The lack of reading comprehension by some of our conservative friends out here continues to be astonishing. It speaks volumes, actually.
