#3 There is no time to lose! The world must implement the Santiago Treaty. Billions of dollars must be transferred from the El NiÃ±o rich to the El NiÃ±o deprived. Do it for the children. And the oxone layer.

#4 LOL, ed! And as far as the ozone layer goes:

I'm lost in the ozone again
I'm lost in the ozone again
One drink of wine
Two drinks of gin
And I'm lost in the ozone again

#5 El NiÃ±o causes ... hurricanes in California.

It does??? I lived there 15 years and don't remember any. I can remember getting 6 inches in one hour, but there wasn't much wind.

#8 I can remember getting 6 inches in one hour, but there wasn't much wind.

All we ever get are the remnants, which usually translates into rotten weather for the warmer months. Has a tendency to ruin an otherwise uneventful summer, really. (and I've lived here for 40+ years, unfortunately)

#9 Actually it's not hurricanes, It's actually more like monsoon rains. I have been here 52 years. We rarely get "real" weather anywhere here in California.
