We all know the Earth’s climate is not what Ozzie and Harriet once counted on every season. For the most part the mercury has been traveling towards the higher end of the thermometer. At least that’s what 2008 Nobel Peace Prize winner Al Gore so graphically displayed in his documentary An Inconvenient Truth,  also collaborated by a world wide legion of climatologist and environmental gurus, who appear to be right, but also lets take into account weird weather patterns that may not be a direct result of humanities tampering with the atmosphere. According to NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies, the 2008 meteorological year places the US in a relatively cool place on the planet while the rest of the world sweats bullets, (a steady incremental rise in planetary temperatures since 1998).  This climate chaos is partially blamed on the atmospheric condition of La Nina, being the cool phase of the planet bucking against the warmer variations of the oceans and rest of the planet. That might explain weather anomalies like snowy mountain peaks in the lower altitudes around posh Palm Springs, California, and snow ball fights on the Las Vegas strip. Enjoy the cool respite, La Nina will be leaving soon.
