California Climate - Island Chris - 06-07-2015
This link is interesting to me:
http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/sgx/briefing/Drought2015_May_SGX.pdf
The temperature graph is of interest: warmer especially since mid-1970s for California. We knew this was true for the globe, but I did not know it was true for California.
Weak El Nino now could become strong this fall...or not.

Something about 'global warming' that does not get explained well enough in the mass media is that not everywhere will get warmer. A 1°C temperature rise is the global average. That does not mean every place simply gets 1°C warmer. Some places may get 5°C or 10°C warmer while others may get 5°C-10°C colder. Some places will get drier. Others will get wetter. Climate zones will shift. You brought up the grapes in Canada in another post. Many crops will be forced to move.
