It is an El Nino year if I&#x27;m not mistaken, so the unusually warm Winter is expected in many areas.<p>Not to say I think climate change isn&#x27;t a problem, but I don&#x27;t think it&#x27;s responsible for the <i>current</i> weather to the degree others seem to think. Although it would be nice to point to the current weather and say &quot;living proof!&quot;, I think it&#x27;s probably not correct.
