Well, I may have memory problems ... but it's never snowed in my part of town in the 30 years I've lived here. I'm not claiming the snow made it West L.A.'s worst winter ever ... far from it: It was delightful.
But it was highly unusual. As is the week-of-winter, week-of-summer pattern we've been having lately. Perhaps the sky isn't falling, and no single weather event or pattern can be attributed directly to global warming. But the type of unusual weather events happening all over the U.S. and the world are exactly the types of weather events science predicted for this time frame of the global warming phenomena. And if those predictions continue to bear out, the sky will only seem like it's falling because the sea level will have risen so high. My area of West L.A. will see no more snow ... because it will be under water.
