What does 10 TRILLION gallons of water even equate to?
That's one weather prediction for southern California in the next week. Gary Haupt

What I find odd is that here in the NW we broke a record high temp of 65deg. Yesterday it was 68. Today it was 67. Guess when the original 65 temp was set?!!! Over 100 years ago. That's right, before cars, factories and petroleum. So how did that temp make it so high back then?........that's right normal climate cycles. It comes and goes, it's nature and earth taking care of itself.
Sure some don't want to hear that because it's easier to blame someone than accept what is normal!
100 years ago wasn't before cars, petroleum and factories.
In fact the Industrial Revolution began in the mid-18th century and, at the start, the fossil fuel of choice, was coal.
Not sure when weather records started being kept in this country but I'd hazard a guess it was more like within Benjamin Franklin's lifetime possibly even before his birth. That being said were I a scientist I'd have more historical data to analyze whether the 65 degree temp was an anomaly or the norm. As well certain natural phenomena would have to be factored in such as volcanoes, meteors and typhoons.
In recent times, we've seen the effects on our weather with the Icelandic and Italian volcanoes as well as tsunamis.
You need to start thinking in millions of years; not 100's.
Here is a chart in millions of years. Look at the wild swings.
