Thanks, Nick for the history and for seeable future events. Someone that used to post here said to expect changes in about 10,000 years, he was most probably right. But not this soon.
Much has been discussed lately about pre-historic/ice age humans and their ability to survive when most of Northern Europe was under ice. There's evidence (flint, spear heads) of the Solutreans coming to America long before Columbus, ancient Asians/Northern Russians (Clovis?) before the ice receded from what is now Ireland, England and of course Sweeden. America has been a melting pot after all.
Now, about La Nina. Cold waters aren't supposed to feed hurricanes, yet, the new predictions are high for Florida, parts of the Caribbean, the gulf and the Eastern coast of the U.S? Do we need a solar maximum now (sarcasm, but?)? Cold fronts from the west have been good deterents against huricanes. So far this Spring, the fronts have been staying to the north of the state, hence no rain for us.
We don't want to be another Sahara nor do any of us wish to be under water.
We'll need those western fronts to ward off hurricanes this summer.
Interesting times.
