It's coming. Massive breeding and overpopulation, unrestrained illegal immigration, failure to conserve natural resources. The future is now, and it isn't pretty. Have some bottled water.

and yet there are still climate-change deniers walking around in their tin foil hats.

I have been accused of wearing a tin hat because I believe in climate change!

I don't think people deny climate change. They deny that its only human influence solely causing it. I am in that camp. Make no mistake there is some impact but to what extent is unknown. The earth was flat once too. Climate change existed way before we were here.

Yes its a drought. Will mother nature correct it? Quite possibly. So be sure to have flood insurance for the next 100 year storm at some point just in case.

Quick google, from the source: Climate Prediction Center: ENSO Diagnostic Discussion

That's a better place to get an answer than a discussion board thread about an LA times article about a new buzzword

Fine. Maybe you dont want to feel validated about your fears and opinions from trusted media sources. Instead opting for 'science'

Ya know, I'm not a denier but nowadays I find both sides to be seriously lacking in credibility. You would think that prior to climate change we had perfectly stable and fair weather all the time. California has had some seriously long droughts in its history. This is a good article about it: California drought: Past dry periods have lasted more than 200 years, scientists say - San Jose Mercury News

I wish climate change deniers would stop pointing to every record cold spell as evidence for their case, and equally wish fellow believers would stop pointing to everything as evidence of climate change. We lose the high ground on this issue when we dilute the credibility of our arguments by blaming every drought, tornado, hurricane, blizzard, etc., on climate change. If CA has 10-20 years of drought it will not be unprecedented in recent earth history.
